It would appear that after three years of 106+ losses, the Houston Astros are finally turning the corner and are becoming a competitive team. Houston, barring a total collapse, will not lose 100 games this season. They will square off against an LA team that could be in for a big letdown, as the Angels are fresh off a four game sweep of Oakland. C.J. Wilson has had issues with command all season. Despite missing a month of the season, he is near the top in walks issued at 67, and his 4.46 ERA on the season is nothing to be proud of. Brad Peacock has not had a good season, but remains unbeaten in four appearances against the Angels at 2-0. The Angels also have to overcome a lack of emotion in this one, as well as the fact that they are 0-6 behind Wilson in his last six starts to a total of 7 to 8.5. Take Houston.
