Prediction

The Angels will send left-hander Patrick Sandoval (2-8, 5.00 ERA) to the mound in this contest. Houston counters with ace Justin Verlander (3-2, 3.63 ERA). If the Angels want to grab this win, they'll need to get to Verlander early on. If he settles into a rhythm, it will be curtains for the Halos.

The Angels have struggled all season long and things don't get easier today facing Verlander. Houston completes the sweep on the road.

Sandoval has looked better over his last two starts, allowing just three runs in 12 innings. The Angels will need a strong performance from him in this one.
