LA Angels vs Texas Rangers Prediction

I'm here with the Rangers. In my opinion, there is simply no support for the Angels because this Angels team is just terrible and plays (or doesn't play at all) like a team that has frankly given up on the season and is playing to its strength. The Rangers show at least some pride down the stretch, and I think that counts. I've also been hard on Andrew Heaney, but he's probably a better pitcher than I often give him credit for. Give me the Texas Rangers here.
