Cole Hamels has excelled against the Angels this season, going 2-0 with a 1.25 ERA in three starts. He has held Angels slugger Mike Trout to a .135 average with 0 HR's the past few years as well.
Tyler Skaggs, on the other hand, has struggled against the Rangers, going 0-1 with a 5.87 ERA in three starts.


The Los Angeles Angels are coming off a three-game sweep of the A's, but they've had a day to cool down (LAA 1-7 in its last eight games following an off day) and I think they're in for a tough matchup against another AL West rival at Texas Friday night.
The Rangers are 24-6 in Hamels' last 30 home starts.
Texas is only 4 back in the Wild Card and need to continue to win and at this reasonable price at home here on Friday night I like their chances.
