Angels (58-81) vs. Rangers (67-73)
The season at the Los Angeles Angels has been terrible, a fact that is evidenced by their ever-foregone win-loss ratio. Their struggle is even more pronounced in their last 5 games, where they managed to earn a split against the rather formidable Dodgers and Mariners. Most interestingly, they recently defeated the Dodgers quite extensively, with the scoreboard at 10-1, but generally lost other games, which shows some inconsistency in performance. This trend of variability, especially during away games, which have seen them go 1-7 on their recent trips, could be very important for their next game.

On the other side, the Texas Rangers are extending a bit of hope as they have secured four wins in the last five matches including easy wins over Yankees and Athletics of the last month. They also won 2 of 3 from the Pittsburgh Pirates last month. Their ability to score and eventually win the matches even when on the road, as they have won 4 of the last 5 at home, seems to give them a favorable home court advantage that could be decisive in their battle against the Angels.

Jack Kochanowicz (2-3, 4.96 ERA) vs. Cody Bradford (4-2, 3.21 ERA)
Jack Kochanowicz of the Angels has impressed us with some qualities even though he has struggled through the season with a 4.96 and a 1.41 WHIP spanning over 32.2 innings. Recently, however, his outings have been a bit erratic, allowing more hits and even home runs than prodigious Rangers’ hitters would have liked. How long he is able to keep this in control early on may be a very important factor for the chances of the Angels.
On the other hand, Cody Bradford, who is with the Rangers, is a sore thumb by all accounts, with a 3.21 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP in 56.0 innings pitched. His contributions to the team include pitching staff control with low offense and high aggression, forcing strikeouts while issuing few walks. This is likely to help them dictate the pace as well as the performance of the game instead of being used to tempers.
