Angels vs. Astros Prediction
Will the hot Astros hand the reeling Angels yet another loss when the AL West rivals clash at 8:10PM ET tonight?
According to oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI, the Astros are -135 money line favorites versus the Angels, who have odds of +125 to pull off the upset tonight in Houston. With Jesse Chavez set to face Charlie Morton in the pitching matchup, the over/under currently sits at 8.5 runs.

ANGELS KEY TRENDS: The Angels have lost five in a row overall and four in a row on the road. They’re also 0-4 in their last four games when facing a right-handed starter and have dropped five of six road games when facing a righty. On a positive note, they’re 15-6 in their last 21 divisional games.
ASTROS KEY TRENDS: The Astros have won four consecutive games and are 4-0 in their last four games against American League West rivals. They’re also a perfect 5-0 in their last five games against a right-handed starter and have won 42 of 61 games when facing a team with a losing record.
Bet Tonight’s Angels vs. Astros Game
OUR PICK: Not only are the Angels in a funk, they’re just 5-13 in their last 18 games against the Astros and have dropped 16 of 22 in Houston. In two starts, Chavez has one win but owns a 5.40 ERA and allowed two home runs on Wednesday in the Angels’ 8-3 loss to the Rangers. If the ball is flying out of the yard again tonight, I like the Astros to cash.
