Los Angeles at Texas

The Rangers have taken the first two in this series, and have now won four of five. They will send Luis Mendoza to the hill to look for the sweep. Mendoza has been very impressive for the Rangers, as he is coming off a one-run performance, and overall has a 1.93 ERA in limited starts. The Angels are 1-4 in their last five road games, are resting players, and setting things up for the playoffs. The Angels started 8-1 in Saunders first nine starts, but have since been just 3-5. Saunders had an ERA of 2.89 just before the break, but has since allowed 83 hits in just 65 innings, and has pitched to an ERA of nearly five. The Angels have struggled against on the road all year, as they are getting just 4.6 runs per game and are down 4.2 units to their backers. We like the Rangers to get the sweep in this one.
