The Angels head to Houston in a slump, losing each of their past two series against the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals. They are facing an even colder Astros team that is 1-5 at home and has dropped nine of their last 10 games.
The Angels and Astros split a two-game set earlier this month, with Mike Trout hitting two home runs in that series. The center fielder, however, has struggled at Minute Maid Park, posting a lifetime .218 batting average and 11 home runs in 55 games, his lowest batting average at any ballpark.
