The Houston Astros have been up and down the last week or so but not because of their offense. The Astros have scored 15 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five straight games. The Astros will send Zack Greinke to the mound for today's start. This season, he has posted a 10-3 record with a 3.69 ERA and 100 strikeouts this season. Against the Angels in his career, he is 6-5 with a 3.80 ERA and 82 strikeouts. The Los Angeles Angels have been up and down also but it is because of their offense. They have scored eight runs in their last three games. The Angels will counter with Patrick Sandoval on the mound. He is 3-5 this season with a 3.39 ERA and 91 strikeouts. Against the Astros, he is 0-2 with a 10.64 ERA and six strikeouts.

The Angels really don't have a lot to play for right now while the Astros are battling for the best record in the AL. Houston has the better offense and the better pitcher as Sandoval has not pitched well against Houston.

Play on Houston.
