5*
(MLB) Houston vs. LA Angels,
Money Line: -116.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Loss
We roll with Houston here who has won 3 contests in a row and we continue to ride Houston as it's now or never for this team. This is a team that now sits at 20-28 on the season and frankly their goal at this point is just to get to .500 as they have underachieved with the talent they have. Of course, sweeping Baltimore at home by scores of 3-2, 4-3 and 4-2 goes a long way. This is a team that sends Fiers to the mound who has come a long way of late putting together 5 of 6 quality starts, including not winning his last 2 starts as the motivation is very strong for him to do well here. The Astros are 4-1 against a righty of late. The Angels send Shoemaker who comes off his best outing of the year striking out 12 against the Orioles. The Angels are 3-13 in their last 16 games at home with Shoemaker starting and 1-9 in their last 10 games against a team with a losing record.
