Houston has a 12.5-game lead over the second-place Seattle Mariners and is looking for their third straight victory. They are 8-2 in their last ten games and have won four of the previous five contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Angels continue their disappointing first half of the season and are now 20 games behind first place in the AL West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are now just 8.5 games ahead of the last-place Texas Rangers and headed towards occupying that position soon. However, they have lost five straight and nine of their last ten games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Houston Astros vs. Los Angeles Angels Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Date<\/strong>: Tuesday, July 12, 2022<\/li><li><strong>Time<\/strong>: 06:38 PM PDT<\/li><li><strong>Location<\/strong>: Angel Stadium, Anaheim, CA<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Astros Move Close To Top of AL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Houston has been one of the hottest teams in baseball recently and is now just four games behind the New York Yankees for the best record in the American League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have won eight of their last ten and are 17-4 in their previous 21 games. A win tonight would be their fifth straight against the Angels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yordan Alvarez has been dominating opposing pitchers all season, hitting .306 and is third in the Majors with 26 home runs. Kyle Tucker is the leader in RBIs with 60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justin Verlander is the ace of the Astros staff and has 11 wins with a 2.00 ERA. Cristian Javier is Houston&#8217;s leader in strikeouts with 102 and brings his 6-4 record and 3.01 ERA to the hill for his 13th start tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Angels Have No Answers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before their 14-game losing streak back in May, the Angels were leading the AL West Division. It&#8217;s hard to imagine them self-destructing in about seven weeks, with no indication their play will improve anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, they haven&#8217;t stopped falling in the standings, and their current course has them headed straight to the bottom of the division.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike Trout has been leading the Angels at the plate and is hitting .270 with 24 home runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shohei Ohtani is the RBI leader for Los Angeles with 54 on the season and the best pitcher for the Angels at 8-4 with a 2.44 ERA and 111 strikeouts. The former AL MVP is the only bright spot on the team&#8217;s pitching staff and will go for his ninth win tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Houston Astros vs. Los Angeles Angels Odds Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Astros are 5-1 in their last six games on the road, and the total has gone under in 13 of the previous 20 games against AL West opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Los Angeles is 6-14 in their last 20 home games, and the total has gone under in 13 of their last 17 games when playing as the favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/godds.com\/sportsbooks\/draftkings\/\">DraftKings <\/a><\/strong>has the <strong>Angels <\/strong>at -115, and the game total is 7.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/godds.com\/sportsbooks\/fanduel\/\">FanDuel<\/a> <\/strong>has the <strong>Angels <\/strong>at -118, and the game total is 7.<\/li><li><strong>Caesars<\/strong> has the <strong>Angels <\/strong>at -120, and the game total is 7.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Godds Pick or Prediction of the Game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Los Angeles is the slight favorite today in this interesting pitching matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ohtani has faced the Astros twice this season and has only given up one earned run in 10.2 innings pitched with 21 strikeouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s the only hope they have to avoid their fifth straight loss against their division rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Godds Pick\/Prediction: <\/strong>The<strong> <\/strong>Angels will win, and the total goes over.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expert Top Pick of the Day: Houston Astros vs. Los Angeles Angels The Astros and Angels will play the second of their three-game series tonight.
