Texas @ Los Angeles picks

The Rangers have struggled to consistently produce offense lately, but you've got to like their chances with Jacob deGrom taking the hill. He hasn't given up more than two earned runs since April 11 and has gone 6+ innings in six straight starts as well as eight of his last nine.

Jacob deGrom has gotten his fair share of outs by getting extended chases outside the zone and thus lots of swings-and-misses. There's no team in baseball making less contact on pitches outside the zone than the Angels at an astounding 47.5 mark. In addition to that, it's a lineup that has five players with not only above-average strikeout rates but woefully so when facing the slider. That's the primary put-out pitch for the future Hall of Famer.
