T.M. Selection: LA Angels.

I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. The Angels just put up a good series against the A's over the weekend and I expect them to continue that into this series. The Angels just faced the Rangers last week and the Rangers swept them in their ballpark in a 3 game series. Now the Angels are back at home for this mini series and I expect them to be looking for revenge here with a sweep of their own in mind. Noah Syndergaard (3-2, 3.60 ERA) is up for the Angels here and he has looked good all year except for 1 start where he pitched a really bad game, the only game he has given up 4 runs or more in this year. That bad start was just last week against the Rangers but I expect him to pitch a much better game here and ensure that doesn't happen again to him. Dane Dunning (1-2, 3.92 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he has been good this year but he hasn't been great either with a lot of his starts seeing 3+ runs given up in them. He faced the Angels in his most recent start and he gave up 2 runs but still pitched a very good game. I think it will be hard for him to pitch another good game here though with the Angels looking for revenge from getting swept and his most recent start being a game against the Angels. There hasn't been a lot of time and unless he comes with some fresh pitches that he didn't use last week against them, I see him getting rocked in this game for a lot of runs. I like the Angels to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Angels.
