Rangers vs. Angels Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under – Sunday, May 24

It’s been a choppy start to the season for the Rangers, who have not had a winning or losing streak longer than four games. They sit at 24-27, but thanks to how weak the AL West has been this year, they only find themselves 1.5 games behind the Athletics for first place in the division.

SP MacKenzie Gore left his last start against the Rockies after one inning due to back tightness, but his imaging went well and he figures to be a full go tonight.

The Angels got off to a 2-0 start, and that’s about where the good times ended for them. They've since endured losing streaks of both six and seven games, leading them to an overall record of 19-34, last in the AL West.

L.A. is still just 7.5 games out of the top spot in the division. With how long and unpredictable a baseball season can be, who knows what could be in store for them if they were to string together a couple of series wins.

Here are the top Rangers vs. Angels picks to target on PrizePicks for Sunday, May 24. Today’s MLB picks for PrizePicks include MacKenzie Gore and Reid Detmers.

Rangers P MacKenzie Gore vs. Angels: 6 Strikeouts

• This could be a dream matchup for Gore against an Angels lineup that leads the majors in strikeout percentage at 25.2%.
• The Angels' lineup is heavily right-handed, especially against a lefty in Gore. That could be a good thing for Gore, though, as he's striking out righties at a slightly higher clip this season with a 10.27 K/9 compared to a 9.53 K/9 vs. lefties.
• Gore has 7 strikeouts in 21 at-bats faced against these Angels hitters in his career, good for an impressive 33% K-rate.
• He may have a lot of success with his cutter tonight, a pitch he's throwing a generous 21.1% of the time. The Angels rank 18th in wCT/C (cutter runs above average per 100 pitches).

Angels P Reid Detmers vs. Rangers: 6.5 Strikeouts

• Detmers comes into this game with a lofty 5.07 ERA, but many of his advanced metrics indicate he could be a candidate for some positive regression.
• He has a strong 11.7% swinging strike rate, indicating that his impressive 9.98 K/9 could be a sustainable metric.
• Detmers has thrown his fastball or slider a combined 73.2% of the time and now faces a Texas team that's 25th in wFB/C (-0.31) and 16th in wSL/C (-0.20).
• The Rangers have struck out at the 11th-highest rate in the majors with a 22.8% K-rate. That number rises to 25.9% against lefties, the third-highest in the sport.
