Angels vs Astros Expert Betting Advice
This will be the second series between these division rivals in the 2023 campaign, the Angels won two of three in Houston in early May.
The Astros prevailed in the 2022 season series 13-6, going 6-3 at home and 7-3 in Los Angeles. The Angels are wrapping up a seven-game road trip they are currently 2-1 on after a series with the Chicago White Sox.
Houston is in the middle of a seven-game homestand they are currently 1-2 on after a three-game set with the Minnesota Twins.
Despite the Angels hitting well against left-handed pitching Framber Valdez shut them down three weeks ago with eight innings of one-run baseball. Trout and Ohtani are a combined 6-44 against him with one home run. Let’s start with a small play on the Angels team total under in the first five innings of Game 1.
Game 2 features a tremendous starting pitching matchup between two hurlers with ERA’s below 3.00 on the season. Ohtani and Javier both shut down the opposition at the beginning of the month and both have solid batter vs pitcher histories. Take the under in the first five innings in Game 2.
Both teams do have great lineups and I would expect more runs in games 3 & 4 as the pitching matchups get a bit easier. Mike Trout’s 3-4 two home run track record against Game 4 starter Brandon Bielak can’t be overlooked. Let’s go over 1.5 total bases for Trout in Game 4 to wrap-up the series.
* Angels First Five Team Total UNDER (Game 1/Thurs)
* First Five Innings UNDER (Game 2/Fri)
* Mike Trout OVER 1.5 TBs (Game 4/Sun)
