The combination of the Angels being on the road and pitching Tyler Skaggs puts me on Texas at this price.

The Angels have dropped seven of their last eight away matchups. They are 4-9 in Skaggs' past 13 starts.

Skaggs has a 4.44 ERA. He has a lifetime 6.20 ERA versus Texas. The Rangers just faced him on April 11 getting to him for five runs on eight hits in five innings.

Texas starter Nick Martinez looked good in his last start. He's pitching for his spot in the rotation so this game means a lot. He has a 2.51 lifetime ERA in six starts and two relief apperances against the Angels.

The Rangers are coming of a season-high in runs and hits during a 14-3 win against the Twins on Wednesday.
