I have a gut feeling here. Yordan Alvarez has only one homer in 53 plate appearances so far. However, he's back home after a day off and faces a homer-prone Jack Kochanowicz here.

I'm not fully buying the Angels long-term yet, but I am buying them right now. Mike Trout is on fire and the bullpen is fresh. They are playing loosey-goosey for Ron Washington and the 'Stros look like their window is shutdown. The lineup is ailing without Kyle Tucker. Jose Altuve in LF looks janky and injuries are taking a toll on the pitching staff. Ronel Blanco is getting shelled with a WHIP over 2. Yordan Alvarez remains totally lost, Christian Walker can't get it going and the Stros' pen just blew another game in improbable fashion. Take the Angels at plus money.
