Angels vs Rangers MLB Betting Preview
Angels vs Rangers Pick, Betting Analysis
The Angels strike out a ton, which is something Mike Trout’s return (24.5% vs RHP) doesn’t help. Seven of their nine projected starters on Thursday have struck out at least 23.9% of the time against RHP this season.
Nathan Eovaldi has struck out exactly nine in three straight starts, and while he hasn’t had a double-digit punchout game this season, he’s reached at least seven in 10 of 17 starts, including four of six at home.
Pitching at home in Texas should give him a 4% boost on Thursday, reflecting the park's effect on strikeouts with the roof closed.
Finally, while the scheduled home plate umpire is one of the most run-negative umpires in the league, he doesn’t increase strikeouts nearly as much, but does add another 1% on average.
Pick: Nathan Eovaldi Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-162, FanDuel), 0.68u (Bet to -150)
