Los Angeles Angels vs Houston Astros 9/9/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

The Los Angeles Angels will go against the Houston Astros in MLB action in Minute Maid Park, TX, on Friday, September 9, 2022, at 8:10 PM ET.

After a dismal season, Los Angeles is hoping for a good finish. The first half of the season saw the Angels endure a protracted losing streak, which resulted in the dismissal of manager Joe Maddon.

They dropped 20 of their first 33 matches following the All-Star break, indicating that the coaching change did not help their situation as they began the second half of the season.

Over the past few weeks, Los Angeles improved and won eight of its previous 13 games. After dropping two of three games to Houston last weekend, the Angels will be out for blood.

On Friday, Los Angeles’ right-handed pitcher Michael Lorenzen will take the mound. He was out since early July due to a right shoulder issue but is now reinstated from the 60-day injured list to make this start. Lorenzen made 13 starts this season with a 4.94 ERA and 1.35 WHIP.

The total went OVER in 4 of LA Angels’ last 5 matches.
The LA Angels are 8-4 SU in their last 12 matches.
The LA Angels are 2-7 SU in their last 9 matches against Houston.

Los Angeles Angels vs Houston Astros Predictions 9/9/2022

Los Angeles was the antithesis of Houston this season, dominating games on a regular basis. As of the start of this series, the Astros had won seven of their previous nine games and did not drop more than three straight games in the second half of the season.

Prior to winning two out of three games against the Angels, they swept Texas in a two-game set the previous week. In a three-game series with Texas earlier this week, Houston scored two more wins.

The Astros will play their final game of a six-game homestand on Sunday. They are 6.5 games behind the Dodgers for the best record in the majors, but they are 11 games clear of Seattle in the AL West standings, so they could claim the division within the next few weeks.

They are also five matches ahead of New York for the best record in the AL.

For Houston, right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. will get the start. In 5.2 innings last Friday against the Angels, he gave up two runs on six hits, four walks, and seven strikeouts. This season, McCullers made four appearances and has a 2.08 ERA.

The total went in 5 of Houston’s last 6 matches.
The Houston Cougars are 7-2 SU in their last 9 matches.
The total went UNDER in 6 of Houston’s previous 6 matches at home.

Los Angeles Angels vs Houston Astros. The MLB pick for this game is the Houston Astros. Although the Astros are huge money-line favorites in this matchup, there is a ton of value on the run-line.

Los Angeles has one of the lowest batting averages in the majors, thus they can put up a skewed total in almost any game they play. After a slow start to the season, McCullers began to rediscover his groove, earning a 2.08 ERA in his five appearances.

On Friday, he should have little trouble shutting down the Angels once more because the lineup for Los Angeles only contains a small number of potentially dangerous batters.

Since these two teams met seven times in the past nine games, anticipate the Astros to easily win again on Friday. The Houston Astros will win to a predicted score of 6-3.
