The LA Angels head into this three-game road series at Houston with a 69-71 record, and this series could absolutely boot them into tank mode for the rest of the year.
The Halos have either won or tied each of their last four series, but they’re 1-3 in their last four games. Shohei Ohtani will take the mound tonight, so if there’s any game to take from the AL West-leading Houston Astros, it’s this game today.
The Astros haven’t been as good as they’ve been during most of the season lately, as they’ve won just four of their last ten.
