Houston Astros vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction: Astros to bounce back to winning ways

At Minute Maid Park, the Houston Astros will take on the Los Angeles Angels in game one of a four-game series. Let’s preview this game and make predictions.

The Houston Astros will look to secure a series win after a defeat in their game against the San Diego Padres. In that series, the Houston Astros suffered a defeat in game one, an encounter that ended 3-1. In the meantime, this team evened this series in game 2 with a 3-4 win but could not live up to expectations in the finale as they lost 4-0. However, the Houston Astros did secure a sweeping victory in their prior series against the Los Angeles Angels but lost to the Oakland Athletics and Cincinnati Reds.

The Los Angeles Angels are coming off a series against the Chicago White Sox and ended on the winning end. The Los Angeles Angels started with a defeat in that series, losing 4-8. In the meantime, their game two performance saw this team even the series, pulling off a 5-0 win and a 4-3 hard-fought victory in the finale. However, the Los Angeles Angels have two wins in their last seven matches, leaving them seated 14th in the American League. 

The Houston Astros, despite a struggling performance in their last series, are well ahead of the Los Angeles Angels in this series. While the Angels will look to draw momentum from their series, I do not see them playing at the top level in this game one; hence, a good margin win for the Astros.
