The Los Angeles Angels visit Globe Life Field on Tuesday night looking to snap a recent skid against a Texas Rangers squad sitting exactly at .500 and still within striking distance of a playoff push.
Both teams send lefties to the mound in Yusei Kikuchi and Patrick Corbin, with the Rangers holding a slight 6-4 edge in their last 10 meetings despite both clubs struggling to find consistent offensive rhythm this season.
With Texas favoured at -113 and the total set at 8.5 runs, this AL West clash could hinge on which lineup can better solve the opposing southpaw they've already faced three times this year.

Texas Rangers vs. Los Angeles Angels preview
The Rangers and Angels meet at Globe Life Field with both clubs hovering around .500 and fighting for relevance in a competitive AL Wild Card race.
Texas enters this matchup with solid pitching fundamentals, ranking first in MLB with just 3.71 runs allowed per nine innings, though their offense has been a persistent problem at 23rd in scoring.
Los Angeles shows encouraging signs of progress after last season's franchise-worst 99 losses, sitting ten games over .500 against the run line despite their 61-69 record.
On the mound, veteran southpaws Yusei Kikuchi and Patrick Corbin bring contrasting momentum - Kikuchi coming off a strong seven-inning effort against Cincinnati while Corbin struggled in his last outing against Kansas City.
The Angels have managed just six runs in three previous meetings against Corbin this season, despite posting a decent batting average against the 36-year-old lefty.
With both lineups ranking in the bottom third against left-handed pitching, Tuesday's contest could turn into a pitcher-friendly affair at Globe Life Field.
