Los Angeles at Houston

Los Angeles is on a 3-8 run despite just finishing a six-game homestand. That included getting swept at home by the Astros last week. The offense is 27th in runs scored, 27th in on-base percentage, and 29th in slugging. Reliever Jose Suarez (6.80 ERA) gets thrown into the rotation making just his second start of the season and 11th of his career. The Angels have lost five in a row against winning teams. Houston's offense is 13th in runs scored, eighth in on-base percentage, and 10th in slugging. They come home from a 4-2 road trip and are 8-0 in the eight starts made by Yusei Kikuchi since picking him up from Toronto. Play Houston.
