On September 29th, at 10:38, MLB LA Angels Texas overseas baseball analysis sports analysis.
The LA Angels, whose pitching and hitting struggled, will have Griffin Canning (6 wins, 13 losses, 5.24 ERA) aiming for his 7th win of the season. Canning showed poor performance with 4 earned runs in 4.1 innings during his recent outing against Houston on the 23rd, but he has been strong at home while struggling on the road throughout September. He had a poor performance against Texas at home on June 11th, allowing 2 runs in 4.1 innings, but we can expect a slightly better showing this time. The Angels’ batting lineup, which managed only 2 runs against DeGrom and Festa the previous day, clearly showed its limitations when not hitting home runs. There's a lot of work to be done this winter. The bullpen, which allowed only 1 earned run across 4 innings, must secure a solid closer.
The Texas Rangers, who secured a solid win driven by homers, will have Andrew Heaney (5 wins, 14 losses, 3.98 ERA) aiming for his 6th win of the season. Heaney struggled with 4 earned runs in 5.2 innings during his recent home game against Seattle on the 23rd, failing to maintain his strong home performance. Especially this year, he has struggled against the Angels, making a bounce-back in this game difficult. Texas's batting lineup, which scored 5 runs with 4 homers against Detmers and Junis the previous day, had a positive showing with their power hitting. Wyatt Langford, who hit a 2-run homer, has shown hitting levels that promise a bright future since the All-Star break. The bullpen that held to just 1 earned run over 5 innings will need reinforcement going forward.
The previous game was undeniably decided by home runs. Considering the hitting from that game, this one also has a strong aroma of being a slugfest. Both Canning and Heaney have shortcomings in expectations for strong performances, but the gap in team strength cannot be ignored and will likely dictate the outcome. The Texas Rangers have the upper hand and are closer to victory.
Predicted score: 6-4, Texas victory.
Handicap: Texas victory.
Over/Under: Over.
