Angels vs Rangers Parlay Picks & Predictions
[subheader sizedown=”true” text=”Angels +1.5″ subtext=”” center=”false” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/laa.png” link1=”” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
The Angels come into this game on a three-game losing streak.
Their offense has been non-existent in Texas this week, and they’re due to break out.
I like the run line here as the Angels attempt to avoid the sweep.
[subheader sizedown=”true” text=”Corey Seager Over 1.5 Total Bases” subtext=”” center=”false” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/tex.png” link1=”” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
Corey Seager has been red hot batting against the Angels. He’s currently 5-for-7 in the series, and I expect him to go over his total bases prop on Thursday.
[subheader sizedown=”true” text=”Marcus Semien Over 0.5 Runs” subtext=”” center=”false” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/tex.png” link1=”” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
Marcus Semien has always excelled as the leadoff hitter. He’ll try to get on base every chance he gets, and I see a strong chance of him scoring a run on Thursday.
[subheader sizedown=”true” text=”Mike Trout Over 0.5 RBIs” subtext=”” center=”false” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/laa.png” link1=”” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
Mike Trout has also been struggling against the Rangers.
If the Angels want to avoid the sweep, they’ll have to rely on Trout’s bat on Thursday.
I think he should get plenty of opportunities to drive in a run in this one.
