Texas Rangers

On August 25, 2025, the Texas Rangers will host the Los Angeles Angels at Globe Life Field in a matchup that carries significance for both teams, albeit for different reasons. The Rangers, at 66-66, are having an average season and need to capitalize on opportunities to improve their standing, while the Angels, currently 61-69, are struggling and looking to turn things around. The last time these teams faced off, the Angels fell short, and they need to shake off that defeat to gain momentum.

Jacob deGrom is projected to take the mound for the Rangers. The right-hander has been a standout this season, sporting an impressive 2.76 ERA and ranking as the 13th best starter in MLB according to advanced stats. DeGrom’s ability to rack up strikeouts (27.3 K%) against a high-strikeout Angels offense could give him an edge. However, he has been somewhat lucky this year, as indicated by his 3.29 xFIP, suggesting potential regression ahead.

On the other hand, Jose Soriano will start for the Angels. Soriano has had a decent season with a 4.00 ERA, but his peripherals indicate he has faced some bad luck, as his 3.47 xFIP is lower than his ERA. He will need to improve his performance against a Rangers offense that, while ranked 27th overall, has shown flashes of power, ranking 18th in home runs.

Betting lines favor the Rangers, with a moneyline of -170, reflecting a 61% implied win probability. This game presents an opportunity for the Rangers to assert their dominance against a struggling Angels team, particularly with their ace on the mound. The projections suggest the Rangers should manage to put up runs, as they have an implied team total of 4.21 runs, compared to the Angels’ low total of 3.29 runs. With both teams vying for a crucial win, fans can expect an engaging matchup filled with potential fireworks.

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Jose Soriano – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)
  Jose Soriano’s 96.6-mph velocity on his fastball this season is a significant 1.1-mph fall off from last year’s 97.7-mph mark.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher whose velocity decreases will likely see worse results.
• Jo Adell – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Jo Adell has been hot in recent games, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 91.7-mph to 97.4-mph in the past two weeks.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• Bryce Teodosio – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
  When assessing his overall offensive talent, Bryce Teodosio ranks in the 4th percentile according to the leading projections (THE BAT X).
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.

Texas Rangers Insights

• Jacob deGrom – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (+125/-165)
  Tallying 17.5 outs per outing this year on average, Jacob deGrom ranks in the 86th percentile.
  Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
• Adolis Garcia – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Adolis Garcia’s true offensive ability to be a .326, providing some evidence that he has suffered from bad luck this year given the .039 discrepancy between that figure and his actual .287 wOBA.
  Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
• It may be wise to expect positive regression for the Texas Rangers offense in the future, considering that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) views them as the 4th-unluckiest offense in the majors this year.
  Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
