My Prediction
Texas Rangers by 1Alright, alright! Let's get into this matchup shall we? The Texas Rangers are heading over to inside the batting friendly confines of Angel Stadium. Fun fact, my cousin once caught a flyball in section 204. He still has it mounted on his desk. No one cares, Harold.
Jacob deGrom, the gem of the Rangers' pitching staff, is set to be hurling fastballs from the mound. His season stats? They're practically dipped in gold. ERA at 2.15 and 9.0 K/9. And deGrom's win probability goes up if I may say, when backed by the likes of Josh Smith and Evan Carter who've been absolutely ruining opposition pitching with their bat orchestra. Carter's got 8 pilfered bases too, the cheeky lad.
The Angels, meanwhile, have the reputable Yusei Kikuchi up their sleeves for this game. With an ERA of 2.88 and 9.5 K/9 this season, he's not going to let those Rangers roam freely. And his battery mate Jo Adell sure packs a punch with some glorious batting average and RBI numbers.
In their latest meetups, the Rangers have smeared the Angels with the consistency of a too-ripe avocado. They've managed a clear upper hand in their recent games, including that double header put down last September. While their win-loss ratio isn't too distinct - 44-45 for the Rangers and 43-46 for the Angels - the momentum's palpably leaning towards the Rangers, especially on the back of their rout against Baltimore.
So, who's gonna be the lucky winner today? I'd say grab your ten gallon hats and polish your cowboy boots, 'cause the Rangers are likely to ramble on to victory, even though both teams have had a pretty similar run in recent games.
Albert's Prediction: Texas Rangers by 1.
