The Angels are coming into this game with a 26-17 record overall and they are 14-8 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Oakland Athletics 2-1, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 2-game series with the Rangers on Tuesday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Patrick Sandoval was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Noah Syndergaard will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 3-2 with a 3.60 ERA this season. His team lost 3 of their last 4 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 4 earned runs, 0 homers, and 2 BB with 1 strikeout on 4 hits in 0.2 innings played against the Texas Rangers. They scored 11 runs in their last series averaging just under 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 8 runs against them averaging just under 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Rangers are coming into this game as a slight underdog with the current betting odds. They have been playing well at home this season, They have not been playing great in their recent games but they just went up against the Angels last week and they played very well in that series, scoring a lot of runs against them. Syndergaard got beat up in the game he started against them and now he has to face them again with only a week in between starts. The Rangers have not been winning a lot recently but they have still been scoring a lot of runs even when they lose and Dunning pitched a very good game just last week when he went up against the Angels. The Rangers will likely take advantage of this situation and beat up on Syndergaard again here. The best bet here is on the Rangers to win this game and bounce back after a few losses.

"It's quite an achievement. It means he's had some pretty good guys that have driven him in, but he's also been setting the table. It's just another milestone in his career that's going to continue with good health. I hope people won't downplay it, because that's really significant." - Joe Maddon after his team’s win against the Athletics on Saturday.
