This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the OVER Angels/Rangers.

Two teams in need of a win collide, and we expect that to ultimately translate into offensive production on the field of play today.

The Angels go with Shohei Ohtani (0-1, 1.93 ERA), while the home side counter with Dane Dunning (0-0, 5.40).

Dunning gave up three runs off five hits over five innings against the Jays in his debut. He's a poor 1-2 with a 7.71 ERA in three career starts against LA.

Ohtani gave up one run off four hits over four innings in what turned out to be a loss against Houston in his opener. He's 3-0 with a 2.86 ERA in four career starts against the Rangers.

But note that Texas has seen the total go OVER the number seven of its last ten off a home loss in which it was held to one or less runs in (just lost 4-1 at home to the Rockies.)

Look for this total to fly OVER the number as the game comes down the stretch.

Good luck, NP
