Los Angeles Angels vs. Texas Rangers preview
The Texas Rangers bring their stellar pitching staff—sporting MLB's best ERA at 3.16—to Angel Stadium for Monday's showdown against a struggling Los Angeles Angels squad that's fallen five games below .500.
Jacob deGrom gets the start for Texas, carrying his career 2.50 ERA against Jack Kochanowicz, who's still finding his footing in the majors with a 5.20 career ERA.
Despite ranking 24th in runs scored this season, the Rangers' elite pitching has propelled them to a winning record, while the Angels' bullpen issues—having blown 24 saves with a dismal 48.9% save rate—continue to haunt them.
The Angels' power bats have produced 149 homers this season, but they've also racked up a league-leading 994 strikeouts, potentially playing right into the hands of deGrom's dominant strikeout arsenal.
With the Rangers solid defensively (MLB-best .991 fielding percentage) and the Angels struggling with 66 errors on the season, this matchup highlights teams heading in opposite directions.
