In this Angels vs Astros Prediction, the Astros are coming as -185 home favorites. The Angels were very bad on the road last season and were also the weakest team against right-handed pitching. They are going up against Hunter Brown who was elite last season and even better at home and I don’t see a scenario where they start the season with the road win. The Astros were far better both in batting average, OBP, team ERA and WHIP and they also had the 8 th -best bullpen in baseball, while the Angels had the third-worse. Keep it simple and take the Astros to win this one.
