Texas at Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Angels have a lot of talent, but the results have betrayed them. They are starting to show life as they have won three straight games for the first time this season, moving to over .500 for the first time this season. The numbers for the starting pitchers are about even, but the one big advantage is the numbers that Hector Santiago has put up against the Rangers. Santiago has made a pair of starts, and a pair of relief appearances vs. the Rangers, and has pitched to a 1.98 ERA in the four games. The Rangers have not been sharp in game one of a series or following an off day. They are 5-14 in game one, and 1-6 in their last seven when following a day off. The Angels have benefitted from an off day at 35-16 in their last 51. Go with the Angels in this one.
