Texas at Los Angeles

Texas has shown that it can hang with the Angels. The Rangers have been on a nice run, as they have won six of their last seven. They are also 12-7 in their last 19 and have been swinging the bats very well. Kason Gabbard has pitched very well. He led the Red Sox to five wins in seven starts and since being traded to Texas, has led the Rangers to four wins in his six starts. Gabbard has allowed more than 3 runs in just two of his 13 starts, so he keeps his team in the game. John Lackey has had a great season to date, but his nemesis over his career has been the Texas Rangers. Lackey is 9-8 with a 5.20 ERA vs. the Rangers over his career. The Angels absolutely destroy RHP as they possess a 65-40 mark. But, they really have struggled vs. LHP, as they are a mediocre 15-15, and that includes just 10-8 at home. The Rangers have a chance to steal one here with some huge odds.
