Four in Texas

[Taylor]

Four games at the Arlington Home Depot against the Texas Wunderkinds. 

How will our beloved Angels fare?

[nando714]

We split. 
 

i was right about the Houston abortion that was last weekend and I’ll be right about this 

[UndertheHalo]

I think they’ll split and that will be fine. 

[Erstad Grit]

Nah,

Texas is reeling and we're getting hot.

We take 3/4

I like 3/4! But Texas is not "reeling" , just bc they lost today.

6-4 in their last 10 is far from reeling.

[Angelsfan1984]

I think they sweep 2 games

[Make Angels Great Again]

I think we'll lose the game with Anderson going tonight, then win the rest with Barria/Detmers/Ohtani

This series made the MLBTR “opener” today (By Nick Deeds).  

“Tonight’s game will begin at 7:05pm CT when Angels lefty Tyler Anderson, who has struggled to a 5.62 ERA in 57 2/3 innings this season, takes the mound against Rangers right-hander Dane Dunning, who was excellent in a bullpen role before joining the rotation and posting a 2.97 ERA and 4.02 FIP across six starts. Looking to the rest of the series, Angels righty Jaime Barria will take on Rangers righty Jon Gray in Game 2. Game 3 will see a duel between lefties Reid Detmers and Andrew Heaney. Game 4 will see a pitching duel between each team’s top starter: Shohei Ohtani and Nathan Eovaldi.”

The pitching matchups don’t look great on paper but it’s all about who plays well.  A split would be fine, as others have said.  Anderson needs to start the series off strong, we really need him to step up and take control of the game tonight.

Halos did wear down the Cheaters, 2-5 since that series.

Texas is coming back to Earth, and the Angels are coming in hot. They'll split. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

Well going of the pattern from the other threads that have been created for important  series and the results that we've gotten after the sefies. We are most likely getting Swept.

Oh dear.  

[Angel Oracle]

Starters need to go at least 6 innings.

This 5 innings thing needs to not be one.

Bullpen cannot be overworked.

It would be curious to see where they rank in average starters’ innings per game.

3 - 1

I was right about the Comet.

I'll be right about this.

I’m praying Trout breaks out of the slump and goes crazy this series. He can carry the team to 3/4 if he’s Vintage Trout. He has always killed the Rangers.

Splitting with Texas is meh, just like I mentioned on our podcast last night. 

is it the end of the world? no. But this is a time to make a statement IMO. 

I picked 3/4. 

[Ron Mexico]

I think Anderson gets Rocked tonight 

 

[floplag]

Need 3, must at least split.

Hoping that the Ranger board will be calling him Cy Anderson by the 6th inning.

[T.G.]

I have no idea how this series will play out, but this is what makes baseball fun... meaningful games with a division rival. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

They should be able to win at least one.

They've lost 3/4 though
