(MLB) Houston vs. LA Angels,
Money Line: -155.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Win
The Houston Astros will finish off their series against the Los Angeles Angels. The Houston Astros are getting it done on the mound as they are first in baseball in team ERA at 2.93, and third in WHIP at 1.09. They will look to improve on those numbers by sending Framber Valdez to the mound. He is 8-4 with an excellent ERA of 2.64. The Angels will counter with Reid Detmers. Detmers is 2-3 with a 4.22 ERA of 4.22. LA is 15-36 in the last 51 and 6-15 in the last 21 at home while Houston is 4-1 in the last five on the road and 21-7 in the last 28 against a team from the AL West. Houston has won 37 of the last 55 played in Los Angeles and 50 of the last 73 overall against the Angels. Valdez has allowed 14 hits and five runs over his last 22 innings. Detmers has allowed 11 hits and nine runs in 14 ⅔ innings over 3 starts. Los Angeles has lost each of Detmers last seven starts. The Angels have struggled to score runs lately and Trout is listed as questionable, so if he is out of the line=up it will e more difficult to get to Valdez. Houston has been running away with the west and they will put another game between them and the Angels.

Play on Houston. This is a 7* pay
