HOUSTON -- The Angels begin a critical series agains the Houston Astros on Monday night at 5 PT, facing Astros ace Dallas Keuchel.
The Angels trail Houston in the wild card race by 2 1/2 games with 13 to play, so at least winning the series is imperative. Sweeping it would put them in control of their own destiny for the final 10 games. Anything less and they will need help.
"Are they make or break games?” David Murphy said after Sunday's loss. “Mathematically, no. But possibly yes.”
Jered Weaver starts for the Angels in Monday's series opener.
