The Texas Rangers will host the Los Angeles Angels on Monday in the opening contest of an AL West three-game series.

Los Angeles Angels
There are 125 games left for the Angels in the regular season, but they are on an early pace to reach the postseason for the first time since 2014. The 24 wins the Angels have are the second-most in MLB behind only the New York Yankees.
On Sunday the Angels won their second straight game and took the third contest of their four-game series by taking down the Oakland A’s 4-1. The Angels are fourth in MLB with a 3.17 ERA and got another strong pitching outing on Sunday with Patrick Sandoval tossing 6 1/3 innings and only allowing an earned run. Offensively Shohei Ohtaniled the way with his 8th home run of the season, and 2 RBI increasing his team lead on the season to 26 RBI.
The Angels are fifth in MLB averaging just under five runs per game, seventh with a .246 batting average, and fourth with 1.3 home runs per game. Mike Trout leads the team with a .312 batting average, and nine home runs.
Texas Rangers
Texas snapped a two-game skid on Sunday with a 7-1 win against the Boston Red Sox. Martin Perez led the way by tossing six innings and allowing one run while recording seven strikeouts. The Texas offense got four home runs, two coming from Kole Calhoun and another two from Adolis Garica.
The Rangers are now 3-3 on their current homestand and 7-12 at home overall. Corey Seager leads the Rangers with seven home runs on the season, and Adolis Garcia leads the team with 23 RBI but has just a .205 batting average after driving in five runs on Monday.
Overall, Texas is 20th in MLB scoring 4.0 runs per game, 11th averaging 0.90 home runs per game, and 28th with a .215 team batting average.
