T.M. Selection: LA Angels.

I like the LA Angels to win this game against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. The Rangers haven't looked great this year already but the Angels are off to a much better start than they were last year. They expect to have a much better year with Mike Trout back in the lineup again and I think they can win this game over the Rangers after splitting the 1st 2 games already. The runs have not been an issue for them since they have scored 5+ runs in both games and they even put up 10 runs in their most recent game. Their pitching wasn't great in those games though nut I think they are going to have a much better game pitching with Noah Syndergaard (1-0, 0.00 ERA) starting for them here. Syndergaard made it through a bit over 5 innings in his 1st start, giving up no runs and only 2 hits while he and his team held off the Astros for a 2-0 win. The fact that they can win a low scoring game like that against the Astros with just their pitching says a lot about them and I think they can have another great game on the mound here. Taylor Hearn (0-0, 2.25 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he also looked good in his 1st start giving up just 1 run, but he also played in less innings than Syndergaard did and Hearn also gave up 8 hits which he managed to pitch his way out of but that could have been a lot worse putting those players into scoring position like that. I think if that happens again in this game the lineup for the Angels will make sure that he pays and i expect him to give up more runs in this start. I like the Angels to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Angels.
