The Angels need a win to start to cut down the Rangers six game lead.
Angels +175 OR +1.5 runs @ -115
Rangers -210 OR -1.5 runs @ -105
With their hopes of a division title fading, the Angels have been busy bringing back infielder Alberto Collapso from the Kansas City Royals. Collapso should make his first appearance in Arlington tonight, and he is expected to play at third base. Callapso is hitting a solid .275 this season and should add to the Angels line up.
The Angels go with pitcher Joe Saunders, who is 6-9 with a 4.53 ERA – however, a trip to the Rangers tends to see him break out in a cold sweat. He’s lost five in a row there.
The Rangers are hitting well, with Ian Kinsler and Nelson Cruz both on good streaks of form. Kinsler has gone 15 matches with at least one hit, while pitcher C.J.Wilson is back on the mound fresh from a good performance against the Red Sox.
With 6 wins out of 8 since the all-star break, plus seemingly an edge in pitching, this looks like a game for the Rangers. Our pick is they can cover that -1.5 run spread at -105 with BetUS.Com
