The Los Angeles Angels and Houston Astros face off on Monday in an American League West MLB game at Minute Maid Park.
Los Angeles Angels
The Angels come into this game with a 6-4 record overall and they have won three games in a row. On Sunday against the Texas Rangers it was the offense that was the difference scoring eight runs on the way to the victory.
The Angels are averaging 4.9 runs per game while they are giving up 4.6 runs per game. The offense is ranked 8th best in the league and in this game they are going to need the offense to be good. Shoehei Ohtani has struggled on the mound but his bats have been hot hitting three home runs and driving in seven RBI’s.
On the mound for the Angels will be Michael Lorenzen and he sits with an 1-0 record and an ERA of 1.50.
Houston Astros
On the other side of this matchup is the Houston Astros who sit with a 5-4 record but they didn’t look good on Sunday against the Mariners. The offense only managed two runs and that led to the defeat.
Houston is averaging 3.44 runs per game while they are giving up 3.55 runs per game. In terms of runs given up per game they are seventh best in the league, and they need good pitching in this game.
Getting the start for the Astros will be Luis Garcia and in his first start against the D-Backs he went four innings giving up two hits and zero runs.
