They scored 7 runs in their last series averaging just under 2 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 12 runs against them averaging 3 runs allowed per game.

 

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 finale of a 2-game series with the Rangers on Wednesday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Wednesday with the series opener still to be played on Tuesday. Noah Syndergaard was the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while Reid Detmers will be on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 2-1 with a 4.15 ERA this season. His team won 3 of their last 4 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 earned runs, 2 homers, and 2 BB with 4 strikeouts on 3 hits in 3.2 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 Angels are coming into this game as a favorite with the current betting odds. The Angels have been playing much better in their recent games after going through a little slump they have bounced back and won some games now. They are going up against a Rangers team that has been very inconsistent this season but has been playing well in their recent games. The Rangers have Otto starting in this game though and he has not been great this season, not pitching very well in his recent starts. The Angels have Detmers on the mound here and he did not have a great start to the season but he has been pitching much better in his recent starts and will likely continue that good pitching here. The Angels are a much better team with a better lineup as well and they will start to heat up again now that they have won some games. The best bet here is on the Angels to win this game.

"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.
