Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers 4/15/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

The Los Angeles Angels will go against the Texas Rangers in MLB action in Globe Life Park Arlington, TX, on Friday, April 15, 2022, at 8:05 PM (EDT). Shohei Ohtani stumbled on the mound against Texas on Thursday, reminding the rest of us that he may not be supernatural after all.

The huge blow was Jonah Heim’s grand slam, and Heim caught him again in the fourth with an RBI single. Ohtani struck out five batters despite allowing 6 runs on 6 hits and two walks.

It was good to see Mike Trout hit his second home run of the season for the Angels, but it wasn’t quite enough to keep them in this one-sided game. The Angels are now below.500 on the season, and their two-game winning run came to an end.

On Friday, Los Angeles will send coveted prospect Reid Detmers to the mound for his second appearance of the season. It will be his sixth start in the major leagues, following five starts toward the close of last season.

Detmers was a first-round draft pick in 2020, but he only pitched 62 minor-league innings before getting promoted to the big leagues. His numbers aren’t great, with a 6.93 ERA and 6.87 FIP, as well as a mediocre 18.8 percent strikeout rate and a dismal 11.1 percent walk rate. His MLB stats are still a tiny sample size, but he was outstanding in his brief minor league tenure.

The total went UNDER in 4 of LA Angels’ previous 5 matches.
The LA Angels are 1-5 SU in their last 6 matches against Texas.
The total went OVER in 5 of LA Angels’ last 6 matches on the road.

Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers Predictions 4/15/2022

On Friday night, the Rangers’ offense exploded, hitting Shohei Ohtani for six runs and scoring a total of ten runs. With a grand slam in the second inning, Jonah Heim delivered the major punch, but plenty of other Rangers got in on the action, including Corey Seager, who hit his first home run in a Texas jersey.

The Rangers’ season got off to a shaky start. They started the season by losing two of three games against Toronto before being swept by Colorado in a two-game series. The Rangers are expecting to be more competitive in 2022 than they are in recent seasons after their large summer expenditure.

For Friday’s game, the Rangers are yet to name their starting pitcher. Kolby Allard is a probable possibility to pitch a lot of innings, while Albert Abreu might potentially pitch multiple innings.

The Rangers’ pitching isn’t their strong point, as they pitched to a 4.80 ERA in 2021 while surrendering a.254 opponents’ batting average. The Rangers used up a large portion of their bullpen in Thursday’s game, so it’s more probable that some of their weaker pitchers will get a chance to work in this game.

The Texas Rangers are 2-5 SU in their last 7 matches.
The total went OVER in 4 of Texas’ last 6 matches against the LA Angels.
Texas is 2-4 SU in their last 6 matches at home.

Los Angeles Angels vs Texas Rangers. The MLB pick for this game is the Los Angeles Angels. Mike Trout and his teammates could use a bullpen game against a team with a poor pitching staff to ignite their offense. For Trout, Ohtani, and Rendon to play to the backs of their baseball cards, some favorable regression is required.

The Angels significantly strengthened their bullpen this offseason, signing Ryan Teperra, Archie Bradley, and Aaron Loup while keeping free agent Raisel Iglesias, so even if Detmers can only pitch three or four innings, the Angels will have plenty of options to keep the Rangers batters off the scoreboard.

The Los Angeles Angels will win to a predicted score of 5-4.
