Texas Rangers vs. Los Angeles Angels
Friday, September 27, 2024 – 09:38 PM ET at Angel Stadium
The AI Model likes the Angels to add a 4.5-4.1 win against the Rangers as +143 underdogs. With neither team having playoff implications, an outcome like this wouldn’t be shocking.
Jacob deGrom Isn’t Perfect
Jacob deGrom has had some big moments and significant starts. However, since returning to the diamond, he’s allowed a .318 wOBA and has struggled with lefties. Opponents have added 77.8% of hard contact, and he’s given up an 11.1% barrel percentage so far.
Los Angeles will strike out a lot. However, the moment some of them get in contact, it’ll be bad news for deGrom.
Texas Has No Threats
The Texas lineup is weak against lefties. The lineup has hit a .127 ISO and wOBA of .235 with more than 31% of strikeouts against lefties over the last 30 days. They’ll face lefty Reid Detmers, who has struggled himself. But he’s facing more righties than lefties and has still struck out 33.3% of righties over the last month.
It’s still more likely the Angels put the ball in play more than the Rangers.
The Pick
Let’s grab the Angels to pull off the upset at +143. It’ll be a tight game. Los Angeles can surely come out on top.
