Houston Astros vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction: Astros beat the Angels again

Houston crushed the Los Angeles Angels in the first two games of the home-and-home series (8:1 and 9:1). Will the Angels be able to prove themselves in the third game? We have a few options to bet on at once.

The Astros eliminated the Mets by beating one of the National League leaders in all four games of the season series and took the lead in the season opener against the National League leader New York Yankees. And now they've beaten one of their biggest rivals in the AL West Division twice in a row. The Astros are already more than ten wins ahead of the Angels and everyone else in the quintet.

Houston's starting pitcher for the third game of the series is Framer Valdez, 8-3, with a 2.65 ERA in 15 starts this season.

If they want to fight against the Astros in the battle for the top spot. Although it's probably already clear that the only thing the Angels can hope for in this regular season is a fight for a wild-card spot in the play-offs. The Angels are six wins away from their cherished goal.

Pitching for the Angels in the third game of the series at Minute Maid Park will be left-hander Jose Suarez, 1-2, with a 4.36 ERA in four starts.

We don't believe that the Angels will win this race to Houston after all. The Astros are in great form right now, and it looks like they picked up some momentum after beating the Mets and Yankees. So the Angels will also have a tough time in the third game of this series.
