Why the Angels on Wednesday at -170...with wins in five out of their last seven to match a .274 BA and 8 HRs, the Halos will look to rebound from the game one loss and take game two over the Rangers. Taking the ball for the Angels will be Felix Pena who comes into the Wednesday matchup after posting a 2.70 era over his L20 IP on 17 H and 2 HRs. Despite Pena's bloated 6.17 era at home over 35 IP, he has been better at home of late, where he has allowed 6 ER over 11 IP on 10 H, 9 Ks and 2 BBs; with those two starts coming against the above-average lineups of the Athletics and Astros. Pena will be facing a struggling Rangers lineup with zero exposure against him where they posted a .188 BA with 6 HRs over their L7 Days.
The Rangers will hand the ball to Yovani Gallardo who hasn't been so sharp of late, posting a 6.91 era over his L14 IP on 16 H, 7 Ks and 9 BBs. On the season, Gallardo carries a 7.67 era on the road where he has allowed 5 HRs over 31 IP. Gallardo gets crushed by RHH, where he sees his BAA rise to .331 with 7 HRs over 36 IP. Those numbers spell trouble for Yo facing an Angels lineup that will feature a heavy lineup from the right side. Angels with a combined 79 ABs against Yo to match a .329 BA, while Yo posts a career 8.00 era over 9 IP on 16 H in Angels Stadium. We will fade this Rangers pen who carries a 6.16 era over their L14 Days, compared to the Angels pen who posted a 2.23 era during that same span.
