- The Rangers defeated the Angels decisively in earlier season meetings, including recent wins by margins of 3-1 and 4-0, showing dominance especially at home.
- No major injuries reported affecting starting pitchers or top offensive players for either team, but Angels pitching staff overall carries a higher ERA and WHIP.
