This is a 1* FREE PLAY on the Angels runline.

A mid-sized price for an extra 1.5 runs of insurance in this case looks mighty tempting.

The Angels have been trading wins and losses over their last four games and after yesterday's 8-1 defeat here in the opener of this three-game series in Houston, I think this pattern has a legitimate shot at repeating this evening.

And that's because the Angels turn to Patrick Sandoval (3-2, 2.63 ERA), who allowed one run with six strikeouts over five innings in a no-decision vs. the Mariners in his last outing.

He'll have his hands full with his counterpart Jose Urquidy (6-3, 4.36 ERA), who is coming off his best outing of the season, allowing one run over seven innings vs. the Yankees, unfortunate to receive a no-decision.

Sandoval has had his issues with the Astros in the past, but I think he can match Urquidy here in this revenge spot.

I'll recommend a second look at the Angels on the runline option on Saturday.

Good luck, NP
