The Houston Astros (30-35 SU, 30-35 ATS) attempt to complete the sweep of the Los Angeles Angels (24-40 SU, 36-28 ATS) after winning the first two games easily. The Astros haven’t been this close to .500 since falling to Kansas City on April 9, which dropped them to 4-8 overall. Houston has gradually rebuilt its chances in the AL West, and with the Mariners unable to pull away because of a weak road record, the Astros are still very much alive.

The Angels, on the other side, are very much not. Los Angeles has slipped into last place in the AL West and now owns the second-worst record in the American League, ahead of only the White Sox. The Angels’ biggest problem is the same one that plagues starter Patrick Sandoval: they haven’t done the job at home. For the year, Sandoval is 0-6 with a 5.54 ERA in Anaheim.

  4. The Angels are 1-10 in their past 11 games against American League opponents.

Our Los Angeles Angels vs Houston Astros Prediction

Hitting’s just not the way that the Astros win games. That’s made their past two victories against the Angels unusual, as they’ve put up 13 runs in two games. Yet the under has cashed in 12 of Houston’s past 14 games, in large part because the Astros either put up a great pitching performance or don’t put up many runs (or both).

In Houston’s past eight defeats, the Astros have scored two runs or less seven times. In their past seven wins, they’ve held the opponent to two runs or less five times. Given the way Los Angeles has bled runs (the Angels have a team ERA of 4.55, which ranks 26th in the majors and 14th in the American League) and how Justin Verlander has pitched much better on the road, it’s more likely this swings toward the Astros. Our prediction for Houston vs. Los Angeles is for the Astros to win.

Prediction:

 

Houston Astros win the match
