Los Angeles at Houston

Houston has won five of its past seven after defeating the Angels 5-2 on Thursday when Alex Bregman hit a go-ahead two-run single to back Ronel Blanco, who won his first major league start. It will be Framber Valdez pitching for the Astros tonight and he owns a 2.38 ERA and 1.04 WHIP and Houston has won his past four starts as he has allowed a total of only six runs in the four games, including a complete-game shutout against Oakland on May 21. Valdez has faced the Angels once this season and gave up one run on three hits in eight innings. Los Angeles has lost five of seven and Shohei Ohtani has faced the Astros once this season and gave up three runs on six hits in seven innings. Houston has won 16 of its past 21 games and the Astros are 46-18 their past 64 games versus AL West opponents. Take the Astros as a Max Play.
