Angels’ Team Stats
The Angels will look to play the role of spoiler one more game here. After seeing the Twins win their division while in town, Los Angeles would like to avoid that here. The Los Angeles Angels used a great start from Reid Detmers and offense from Brandon Drury on Tuesday night. The Angels are, of course, without Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout and have been for a while.
Ohtani finished the season with a .304 batting average, 44 home runs, and 95 runs batted in. The Angels as a team are 18th in Major League Baseball with a .246 batting average, and 23rd in team earned run average.
Griffin Canning will throw for the Los Angeles Angels. Looking at his MLB player stats this season, he is 7-7, with a 4.39 earned run average. Canning has thrown 121 innings and struck out 134 batters while walking just 33 on the season. This will be the 21st start of the season for Canning. Los Angeles Angels picks are interesting to follow, especially when they have been so beat up.
Rangers vs. Angels Betting Picks
