Texas Rangers vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction: Can the Rangers Dominate Reid Detmers?
Reid Detmers is having an interesting season so far. He is getting hit around quite a bit, but he is also able to strike out batters in the top 15% in the MLB. Today he goes up against a very tough test in the Texas Rangers, and his hits allowed line is only 4.5. Can this Rangers offense do what they have done all year and keep hitting off left-handed pitching?

Texas Rangers vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction
The Texas Rangers' offense is elite. They rank second in wrC+ and first in on-base percentage against left-handed pitching. In the last 30 days, they have dropped off very slightly to sixth on that list. In the last seven days, they rank top four in wrC+, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and batting average against lefties, and in the last 14 days, they rank in the top six in all of those statistics.
Detmers' line is quite low today, so I like it so much. He has allowed 16 hits in his last two starts and has gone over 4.5 hits allowed in five of his last six games, and 62% of all starts this year. He has also gone over in four of his last six away starts and averaged five hits allowed between his two games versus Texas this year.
