Rangers 4, Angels 3

The Angels are an unimpressive 21-21 at home while the Rangers are 19-28 on the road. But the Rangers are 4-1 against the Angels this season.

Rocker has not allowed more than 2 runs in his last 4 starts and the Rangers are 3-1 in those games.

The Rangers have scored 4-plus runs in 7 of their last 9 games.

BET RANGERS (-120).

Of the Rangers’ 5 victories in Rocker’s starts, 4 have been by only 1 run, including the last 3 games.

The Angels’ last 2 losses with Hendricks on the mound have been by 1 run. They are 24-18 ATS at home, but -165 odds to cover are not the best value here.

PASS.

Rocker’s last 7 starts have not surpassed 9 total runs. Nine of Hendricks’ 17 starts have not reached double-digit totals.

Five of the last 8 for the Angels have not reached double-digit runs.

BET UNDER 9 (-105).
