Astros vs Angels Prediction

I’m on the Angels here. I just can’t get there with the Astros with how inconsistent Houston’s offense has been this season, and Ronel Blanco has really struggled out of the gate this season. The Angels may not be the easiest team to back this season, but I think they can get the job done here, even if it’s a fade of the Houston Astros more than anything else. Give me the Los Angeles Angels in this one.
