The ninth iteration of Sunday Night Baseball in 2026 goes down in Anaheim as the Los Angeles Angels host the Texas Rangers on Peacock at 7:20 p.m. ET.
My three favorite Rangers vs. Angels props are bullish on Mike Trout and Jo Adell at the dish, and see a buy-low opportunity for starter Reid Detmers.
Read on for my full analysis, with Rangers vs. Angels predictions and MLB picks on Sunday, May 24.

Rangers vs Angels player prop picks
Mike Trout Over 0.5 runs (-120)
Mike Trout has shown an uncanny ability to draw walks this season, ranking third in BB% (20.1%) en route to a robust .402 OBP. Those numbers get even better when isolated for left-handed pitchers, against whom he has a 24.2% BB% and .419 OBP.
He likely finds his way on base against walk-machine MacKenzie Gore, who is issuing 4.41 free passes per nine innings.
Trout has crossed the plate in five consecutive games and gets a favorable matchup against a hurler who gives out bases like candy. There will be favorable hitting weather — temps in the 70s and winds of 8 mph blowing out — and #27 can score a run in a variety of ways.
Reid Detmers Over 6.5 strikeouts (-114)
Los Angeles Angels starter Reid Detmers’ results have been up and down, but that’s to be expected from someone transitioning from the pen to the rotation. His advanced metrics are much more auspicious than his 5.07 ERA, so here’s betting on better times ahead.
Detmers’ 3.23 xERA and 3.07 FIP indicate a quality starter. He avoids loud contact (68th percentile hard-hit rate) while navigating his way to a 17.5% K-BB%. Massive strikeout upside has been shown given his four outings with 8+ punchouts.
The Texas Rangers don’t hit lefties well, posting the second-lowest hard-hit rate (27.4%) and the third-worst K% (25.9%). That should allow Detmers to have an effective outing with plenty of strikeouts.
Jo Adell Over 1.5 total bases (+115)
Gore has a simplistic pitch-type selection against right-handed batters, as he throws his four-seamer 49% and his curve 25%. That makes this an ideal matchup for Jo Adell, who’s crushed four-seamers (170 wRC+) and curves (203) alike.
The outfielder is impotent against righties (61 wRC+) but turns into a superstar against southpaws (160). He slugs a healthy .627 with plenty of power (.339), so if he gets a hold of an offering from Gore, there’s a likelihood the ball won’t touch down until it’s traveled quite some distance.
