Los Angeles Angels vs. Texas Rangers

Sunday, May 19, 2024 – 02:35 PM ET at Glove Life Field


Will Jose Soriano Stay Hot?

The Angels will throw Jose Soriano for today’s game against the Rangers. While he has a 1-4 record, he’s still got a 3.72 ERA. That’s because he’s got a high ground ball rate and a low fly ball rate. Yet, he’s still giving up free passes at a high rate, allowing 11% of walks.

It just takes a couple of walks and one mistake to fall apart if you’re Soriano. That’s ultimately what has happened to him this year.

Righties Destroy Michael Lorenzen

On the other hand, the Rangers will throw Michael Lorenzen. He’s already faced 79 righties as a right-handed pitcher but has allowed a .300 ISO and wOBA of .432 with only 12.7% of strikeouts against righties.

The Angels figure to have at least four righties in the lineup. Those four righties have combined to hit a .185 ISO and wOBA of .322, which is above average this season.

MLB Computer Pick

Lorenzen has more potential to have a poor outing. But it only takes a couple of mistakes from Soriano for him to blow up. Let’s take the Over.

MLB Computer Pick: Over 8.5 (-110) at Bet365
