**Record 9-1**
The Angles head into Texas with 4-3 John Lackey on the mound against 1-4 Vicente Padilla. Lackey has a very nice 2.60 ERA while Padilla has a 4.93. The Angles have not faired particulary well on the road this year, but i feel this is a good spot, not only to win a game, but also a road series. The Angles have done a nice job picking up wins against weaker teams this year, being 15-9 when favored, in contrast the Rangers are only 8-15 when a dog. More than anything i dont think Padilla has what it takes to beat the Angles.
Angles -140
