The Houston Astros and Los Angeles Angels face off on Sunday in an MLB showdown at Angel Stadium. On Friday night it was the Astros that secured the 4-2 victory. These two teams have played competitive games and even though the Angels haven't had a great season they have been a problem for the Astros. 

Heading into Saturday’s game the Astros had an 85-47 record and the pitching had been good the last few games. The Astros offense has been strong, but even more impressive has been the pitching. The Astros are giving up 3.29 runs per game which is second in the league. The offense is ranked 9th. Yordan Alvarez has hit 31 home runs and driven in 80 RBIs. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Angels who headed into Saturday’s game with a 57-75 record overall. The Angels offense hasn’t been good enough most of the season and they are averaging only 3.81 runs per game which is 25th in the league. Shohei Ohtani has been the top offensive player hitting 30 home runs and driving in 82 RBIs. 

On the mound for the Astros will be Jose Urqidy who sits with a 12-5 record and an ERA of 3.59. In his last start against the Baltimore Orioles, he went five innings giving up four hits and three runs. 

On the mound for the Angels will be Tucker Davidson who sits with a 2-4 record and an ERA of 5.77. In his last start against the Toronto Blue Jays, he went four innings giving up three hits and one run.

The Astros are 6-1 in their last seven road games against a right-handed starter. The under is 6-1 in the Astros last seven games on grass. The under is 5-1 in the Astros last six games. 

Davidson is coming off a better start and I expect him to have another strong start here. Urqidy overall sits with an ERA of 3.59 and the Angels offense has been an issue all season. Look for both offenses to struggle here and the under is going to cash.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
