Houston Astros vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction

Justin Verlander isn’t the same pitcher he once was and he’s going to have some major issues again here. The Angels offense isn’t exactly elite, but they are going to find success scoring early and often and that is going to be the difference here. The Angels are going to get a good start from Tyler Anderson here, and that will be the difference as the Angels will get the job done. Back the Angels.
