Today’s matchup is between the Texas Rangers (18-34) and the Los Angeles Angels (23-30).
The Rangers are starting Kyle Gibson (RHP), who is 2-5 on the season pitching a 5.18 ERA, 5.51 FIP, .356 wOBA, K% of 19.6%, BB% of 9.8%, 88.3 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.52 WHIP in 57.1 innings pitched.
The Angels are starting Dylan Bundy (SHP), who is 5-3 on the season with a 3.12 ERA, 2.71 FIP, .258 wOBA, K% of 28.8%, BB% of 6.1%, 87.1 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.01 WHIP in 60.2 innings pitched.
The Rangers are the 24th best in the Majors in Relieving Pitching, while the Angels are 22nd.
On the hitting side, the Rangers have a .272 wOBA and a .281 OBP. The Angels have a .326 wOBA and a .333 OBP. The Rangers have 47 HRs this season while the Angels have 76 HRs.
I like the Angels to win it here, they have the better starting pitcher and slightly better reliever unit. The Angels also have the better batting team.
