Our Houston Astros vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction

The Astros are the heavy betting favorite; however, the over looks to be the best betting option. This goes directly to the home/away splits between the two starting pitchers. Klassen has made just two away starts this season, but has allowed six runs (five earned) over 6.0 innings. Javier, on the other hand, has made four home appearances (two starts), in which he has allowed 10 earned runs over 13.2 innings.

Additionally, the total has gone over in five of the 10 meetings between these teams this season (with four unders and one push). For that reason, our Houston Astros vs Los Angeles Angels prediction is: Over 9 Total Runs.
