Angels vs Astros Prediction 

Los Angeles has had some very solid pitching so far in this series and they will look to get the series win here. The Angels are 30-37 on the road this year, while the Astros are 41-30 at home. Houston is only leading the AL West by two games right now and they are starting Garcia, who is a welcomed addition, but could show some rust. LA is starting Kikuchi, who has allowed at least four earned runs in three of his last four outings. I don’t love either pitcher coming into this game, so I am going to take the over here.
