Astros at Angels 7/17/19 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Astros are taking to the road in this game to face division rival Los Angeles. However, for as good as the Astros have played this year, they are still not being a road warrior type of team they have to be if they want to be considered a serious contender for any of the games they are playing. What else does not help the Astros is the fact they are 2-3 in the last 5 and one of those losses was to the Angels.

With the Angels the offense has recorded 851 hits on the season. The Angels have been able to hit at a clip of .261 on the season. Run scoring has been done well enough to get 494 runs across the plate with 140 homers being sent to the stands. The Angels have a team ERA of 4.85 on the year with an average of .246 this season. The Angels have struck out 845 batters and walked only 338 batters.

The Angels are playing decent at home and have a nice winning streak going for them. What else helps the Angels out is the fact they already beat the Astros in Los Angeles this series and that will definitely help them out quite a bit. Look for the Astros to continue to have some issues in this game as the Angels pitching staff does well and shuts them down. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Angels win 7-3.
