The Angels would like to have a good chance to pick up a win here, but the Angels are facing the great pitching of Verlander and an Astros team that has a very potent offense. Look for the offense of the Astros to jump out early on Heaney, but also have the pitching from Verlander shut down the Angels offense. Final Score, Houston Astros win 9-2.
