These two teams have been headed in opposite directions. The Angels are 3-7 over their last 10 games, while the Astros are 7-3 over their last 10. The Angels have not been good on the road, where they are 27-30 this season. Expect them to have a difficult time against Justin Verlander, who allowed two runs over seven innings against the Yankees in his return to the Astros. Over his last four seasons with the Astros, he had a 2.77 FIP and a 0.85 WHIP at home. The Angels will start Reid Detmers, which should benefit the Astros because they have the sixth-highest OPS in baseball against left-handed pitchers. He has faced them twice already, allowing a combined eight runs over 11 innings. I’m rolling with the Astros.

Not every site has lookahead lines out quite yet, but DraftKings does and I love this price even with Houston playing today in Baltimore and the Angels off, so I'm going to take it now. I think it should be around -190 with Justin Verlander starting for the Astros. He did lose his first start back with the team but pitched well at Yankee Stadium and has looked like his Hall of Fame self for the most part since the end of June. Last year in Houston, and this is his first Minute Maid Park start since the trade, he was 10-1 with a 1.64 ERA. He may not be quite that guy any more but he's still pretty close. It's also his 500th career overall start so it's probably a little more important to Mr. Kate Upton (I'd totally take her name if she asked me to). LA's Reid Detmers has gone five straight outings without a win, and he's failed to complete five innings in three of those. He's also 0-5 with a 5.49 ERA on the road.
