Hunter Brown is set to play for the Astros, while Patrick Sandoval will be starting for the Angels. Brown is coming off a decent performance, having allowed only one run and four hits in five innings against the Mariners. Sandoval, on the other hand, has struggled in his last two starts, conceding a total of 12 runs in just 9.2 innings. However, Sandoval has been brilliant at times, and it’s worth remembering that he struck out eight batters in just over four innings against the Astros in August.
When it comes to recent form, the Astros and the Angels have had contrasting fortunes. In their last 10 games, the Astros have won only four times, while the Angels have won six of their last ten. This is an indication that the Angels are the in-form team and could be the ones to watch.
However, history will tell you that the Astros hold the edge over the Angels. When the two teams last faced off on September 11, 2022, the Astros won convincingly, beating the Angels 12-4. On that occasion, the Astros were priced at -263 to win. The total was set at 8.0, but the game went over by a whopping eight runs.
When it comes to totals trends, the Astros and Angels seem to be poles apart. The Astros have gone over in only three of their last ten games, while staying under in seven of their last ten.
