Astros vs Angels Prediction

The Astros are 5-2 in their last 7 meetings against the Angels and have won their last three visits in Los Angeles.

In this Astros vs Angels Prediction, the Astros are coming as -125 road favorites. I don’t trust Kai-Wei Teng for the Astros, as he has given up 7 runs in his last two starts, while on the other hand, Walbert Urena has given up one run or less in five of his last seven starts and has been excellent at home with a 1.61 home ERA. Neither team has a big edge on offense and bullpen, so I will side with the better pitcher in this one. Take the Angels as home dogs in this one.
