Odds from Betonline.ag
The Astros are coming in with a good road record and are putting a decent starter on the mound. Granted the Angels are not that bad of a team at home and are putting an equally good pitcher on the mound, but I do not see the Angels offense being able to keep pace with the Astros hitting in this game and that is what allows the Astros to win this game, but also for the total to hit the over as both offenses light up the scoreboard.
