Astros won and covered by a final score of 5-3 in the first game of the series against Angels at Angel Stadium. With this the Astros put their record on the road at 37-36 this season.

Alvares leads the Astros in hitting with 31 doubles, 2 triples and 33 HRs this season. Altuve returned after being out for a few days, the Venezuelan is batting 15-for-40 with 4 doubles and 6 RBIs in the last 10 games.

Angels will try to avoid losing the 4th game in a row, maybe they can do it against an Astros that plays its worst baseball in 2nd games of series and where they have a record of 21-26. Ward is the hot bat for the halos and is batting 12-for-37 with 4 HRs in the last 10 games.

Anderson is the Angels' go-to pitcher, has been healthy most of the season and is 10-12 with 132 strikeouts in 167.1 IP. He had a good last outing where he managed to strike out 7 in 5 innings against the Rangers, although the Angels would end up losing that game.

The Angels will miss the playoffs for another year, but at least they will want to avoid tying the franchise's worst regular season record and to do that they must win at least 7 of the 15 games remaining.

Our Houston Astros vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction

Ultimately, veteran Verlander was chosen to start Game 2 of the series. He hasn't been great since returning from his neck injury and it seems like every outing will go a long way toward deciding whether or not Verlander will get a starting spot in the playoffs. Verlander is 0-4 with a 9.68 ERA after being out for nearly two months. Some hot bats for the Angels, like Ward and Neto, and the Astros' need to secure a postseason berth could make for a high-scoring game. Our prediction for Astros vs Angels is: Over 8.5, -120 at DraftKings.
