The Rangers are struggling to stay over .500 (4-6, -$435 last 10 days) and they could be ripe for an upset in the series opener. So far in 2024 the Angels have a 5-2 record vs. left-handers (+$450), averaging 5.6 runs per game in those contests. Texas has fared poorly against southpaws (-$350, 3.6 runs per game) and they’ll have to contend with Tyler Anderson (2.92 ERA in eight starts), who’s slated to face the floundering Andrew Heaney (-$970, 4.39 ERA) on Friday night. BEST BET: Angels when lefty meets lefty.
