Jesse Free pick
(MLB) Houston vs. LA Angels,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -160.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Win
This is a Free play on HOU.

The Astros sit two games back in the AL West, while it's doom and gloom in the Angels clubhouse. While they are just five games back of Houston, Mike Trout is once again injured, and Shohei Ohtani's pending free agency looms large.

Ohtani (7-4, 3.32 ERA) has faced Houston twice this season, and he's 0-2 with a 4.85 ERA in those games.

Houston will hand the ball to J.P. France, who has delivered six straight quality starts. One of those was a 2-1 loss to LA, and he allowed 1 run on three hits in seven innings in that game.

Houston is 7-3 straight up and 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings.

GL,
