Houston at Los Angeles

If things haven't gone well to start the season for the Los Angeles Angels, then what is happening now is rock bottom. The Angels were considered major contenders in the AL West, but at 25-32, they simply haven't gotten there. A four-game homestand vs. the lowly Houston Astros looked like the right medicine to get this team four quick wins and over .500. They have started the series 0-3, and suddenly hot Houston has won five straight, and feeling it right now. Even really bad teams over a 162-game schedule will have a couple good runs, and that is this Houston team right now. Angels are just 2-9 in Blanton's last 11 starts, and a woeful 3-13 in their last 16 vs. a team below .400. Play on Houston on the runline.
