Going for free pick winner #9 in a row!

The Los Angeles Angels are coming off a three-game sweep of the A's, but they've had a day to cool down (LAA 1-7 in its last eight games following an off day) and I think they're in for a tough matchup against another AL West rival at Texas Friday night.

The Rangers hand the ball to Cole Hamels. The left-hander is 6-0 behind a 3.04 ERA in eight home starts on the season, and he's 2-0 while allowing just three runs through 21 2/3 innings of work in three starts against LAA. The Rangers are 24-6 in Hamels' last 30 home starts.

The Halos turn to another left-hander in Tyler Skaggs (1-4, 4.25 ERA) who was charged with five runs (four earned) in 5 1/3 innings of a 5-3 loss when pitching opposite Hamels on August 21. In total he's posted a 5.87 ERA in three starts covering 15 1/3 frames against the Rangers on the season.

The Rangers are 5-2 in the last seven meetings.

My free pick is on the Texas Rangers ML.
