In this Angels vs Astros Prediction, the Astros are coming as -150 home favorites. Houston looked awful in its first two games of the season, having scored just two total runs while having earned nine. They have also been hitting with an abysmal .169 rate and are now putting Cristian Javier on the mound, who was terrible last season with a 4.62 ERA. I don’t trust the Astros until they prove otherwise, so I will take the Angels once again today for a nice plus price.
