The Angels open up as -120 ML favorites while the Rangers are +100 home underdogs. The total for this matchup is sitting at 9.
Los Angeles Angels
The Angels were able to win a wild game on Friday night 9-6. They were able to hit 5 HRs including 2 bombs from Ohtani. The Angels ended up this game with 11 hits, 6 of those coming from the top 3 hitters.
Noah Syndergaard will look to have another great outing vs the Rangers. Syndergaard went 5.1 innings giving up 0 earned runs in his first start against the Astros when he out dueled Justin Verlander. We might never see that near 100 mph fastball again from Thor, but he will come at you with a nice little 4 pitch mix that he uses pretty equally. I’m very interested to see how he looks as the season goes deeper and deeper.
The Angels offense hasn’t really formed into it’s full potential just yet on this season. Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani and Anthony Rendon are all hitting under .215 so far on the young season. The positive for the offense is Brandon Marsh has been off to a hot start, and also Jared Walsh is hitting right around .300. These are imported hitters for the Angels; if they are able to keep it going, it will only be a matter of time before Trout and Ohtani start to rake.
Mike Trout did hit a 472 foot homer on Thursday against the Rangers for his first HR of the season.
Texas Rangers
The Rangers took the first game of the series Thursday night beating the Angels 10-5. This game featured Corey Seager hitting his first home run for his new team in a game that he hit 2-4 with 3 RBIs.
Tyler Hearn will be making the start for the Rangers in this ballgame. Hearn got a no decision in his first game pitching 4 innings and only giving up 1 run against the Rockies. If you are going to pull a negative from this start, in those 4 innings of work, he gave up 8 hits. Also, for just the 2022 season, Hearn is in the bottom 1/4th of the league in both hard hit % and barrel % so far; meaning he got hit pretty hard in this outing.
Catcher Johan Heim has been a nice story so far for the Rangers. Heim is 6-11 this seasons, leading the Rangers in runs (6) and RBIs (8). Three of those hits came Thursday night, including a grand slam off Shohei Ohtani in the bottom of the 2nd.
Corey Seager and Mitch Garver are both hitting over .300 for the Rangers. Now they look for the other new addition, Marcus Semien to turn around his current 3-27 this season.
