Los Angeles Angels vs Houston Prediction: the Astros Never Lose Twice in a Row

Los Angeles finally beat Houston. But is it possible for the Angels to beat the Astros for a second time? Let's pick a few bets.

The Angels Ended Their Losing Streak

As expected, Anaheim, with Shohei Ohtani on the pitching hill, ended an unlucky streak. 7-1 - Ohtani had 12 strikeouts and only 1 run scored in six innings. He was also one of those who showed up at bat, scoring 2 RBI. Luis Rengifo had the same 2 RBI. As a result, the Angels' defeated streak counted five games. Los Angeles is 12th in the American League standings (39-50).

Reid Detmers, 2-3 and with 4.22 ERA in 13 games, is the starting pitcher for the Angels for the upcoming game.

Houston Hadn't Any Hard Fights

The Astros have a huge lead over all of the West Division rivals, so Dusty Baker's team can afford to relax a little bit sometimes. That's what Houston did in their previous game, realizing that there was simply no point in fighting Shohei Ohtani on that day. The Texans didn't fight back, allowing Anaheim to cut the lead to four wins on the season.

Starting on the pitching hill for Houston in the upcoming game will be Framber Valdez, 8-4 and 2.64 ERA in 17 starts this season.

Expert Betting Tips

After falling to the Angels last game, Houston has probably exhausted their bad luck for the next few games. Dusty Baker's team looks solid at the end of the championship first half and has almost never lost twice in a row. Prediction: a victory for Houston.
