Los Angeles at Houston

The Houston Astros are a valued team for the first time in 3+ seasons. This team that has lost 105+ games each of the last three years, is finally becoming competitive while the odds posted against them are not reflective of what this team has become, which is significantly better. Houston, despite the loss last night, is 8-3 over their last 11 games, and in eight of those nine games, the Astros staff has allowed a total of 22 runs. Los Angeles will wheel out Tyler Skaggs, who is going backwards as he has lost back-to-back starts and has seen his ERA rise to 4.14 on the season. The Angels have been losers of four straight following a win, while Houston is still under the radar, cashing eight of their last 10 as a dog. Make the play on Houston.
