Rangers -149
Time Stamped Release
May 12, 2012 - 12:00 AM
This is based on the success of the Rangers vs. LHP as they are ranked 3rd with a .837 OPS while the Angels are 19th with a .650 OPS. Angels are also 25th with a .637 OPS during day games and are 29th vs. the fastball a pitch Matt Harrisson uses 62% of the time. More so than anything I like the Rangers because of the advantage they have in the bullpen. I don't expect either starter to go particularly deep but the Rangers have a huge advantage in the bullpen with a 1.98 ERA on the year to the Angels 4.60 ERA on the year. Angels are 5-13 in their last 18 games vs. a LH starter.
