The Los Angeles Angels and Houston Astros meet Saturday in MLB action at Minute Maid Park. The Angels need a win after losing four of their last five games. The Astros look for a win after splitting their last 10 games.

The Los Angeles Angels have scored 14 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last nine games. The Angels have won eight of their last 11 games when scoring four or more runs. David Fletcher leads the Angels with 154 hits and 43 RBI while Jared Walsh and Shohei Ohtani have combined for 241 hits and 173 RBI. Jose Suarez gets the ball, and he is 6-7 with a 3.74 ERA and 69 strikeouts this season. Suarez is 1-2 with a 6.30 ERA and 18 strikeouts in his career against the Astros.

The Houston Astros have scored 20 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last seven games. The Astros have won 10 of their last 11 games when scoring four or more runs. Jose Altuve leads the Astros with 143 hits and 72 RBI while Michael Brantley and Yuli Gurriel have combined for 285 hits and 117 RBI. Luis Garcia gets the ball, and he is 10-6 with a 3.29 ERA and 155 strikeouts this season. Garcia is 1-1 with a 4.12 ERA and 15 strikeouts in his career against the Angels.

The Angels are 5-11 in their last 16 during game 2 of a series and 2-6 in their last 8 road games. The Astros are 4-1 in their last 5 Saturday games and 144-70 in their last 214 home games. The over is 4-1 in Angels last 5 road games. The over is 4-1-1 in Astros last 6 overall. The Angels are 20-42 in the last 62 meetings in Houston.

The Astros should be favored obviously and the Angels look like a team that’s thrown in the bowl on the season. However, we’re getting two times our money with Suarez on the mound, a pitcher who has 3.74 ERA and 1.25 WHIP on the season. Suarez has also coming off a complete game against the Rangers where he allowed just five hits and one run while striking out eight and walking zero. This price feels off a bit. Give me the Angels.
