Prediction

The Angels were coming into the first game riding the high of sweeping the San Diego Padres but Houston shut that down very quickly. Los Angeles throws out left-hander Tyler Anderson (5-5, 2.37 ERA) to help them get back on track. The Astros are countering with right-hander Hunter Brown (1-5, 6.18 ERA) to grab the series win.

The Angels haven't been very good this season and more of the same takes place here. The Astros get the edge heading into the matchup.

Astros 7, Angels 3

More

• Anderson hasn't allowed more than one run in each of his four starts. He will look to extend that streak tonight.

• Angels outfielder Kevin Pillar has been on a tear this year, hitting .324 with 7.0 home runs and 26 runs batted in for the season.
