Los Angeles is 60-78 following its 4-3 loss to Houston on Friday in the opening game of the series. Los Angeles has lost two straight and the Angels are third in the American League West, 29 games behind the first-place Astros.

Designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is batting .267 to lead Los Angeles and has team highs in home runs with 33, RBIs with 86, hits with 132 and on-base percentage at .356. Center fielder Mike Trout is tied for the lead in home runs with 33. On Sunday, the Los Angeles Angels will send Tucker Davidson to the mound. The left-hander is 2-5 with a 6.42 ERA, 25 Ks and 29 BBs.

Houston improved to 89-49 following its one-run victory over Los Angeles on Friday. Chas McCormick hit a two-run homer and collected three RBIs while Jeremy Pena also homered for the Astros. Houston has won two straight and four of the last five. The Astros are first in the American League West, 12 games ahead of the second-place Seattle Mariners.

Designated hitter Yordan Alvarez is batting .290 to lead Houston and has team highs in home runs with 31 and on-base percentage at .394. Right skills are Kyle Tucker is the leader in RBIs with 88 and second baseman Jose Altuve has a team high 130 hits. On Sunday, the Houston Astros will send Luis Garcia to the mound. The right-hander is 11-8 with a 3.99 ERA, 139 Ks and 42 BBs.

Los Angeles pitcher Tucker Davidson is coming off a very poor outing after allowing seven runs on seven hits across 6 ⅓ innings resulting in a 9-1 loss to Houston last Sunday and therefore the play here is OVER. The OVER has cashed in three of the Angels last five and in five of the last seven the Angels have played against an opponent from the AL West. Houston has seen the OVER cash in 17 of the last 25 played at home versus the Angels. Final Score Prediction, Houston Astros win but our best play is OVER 9-3.
