Rating: 8*
The Los Angeles Angels are coming off back-to-back wins at Oakland, but they're just 3-9 in the last 12 meetings in Houston and I think they'll struggle here in the opener of a three-game set at Minute Maid Park.
The Astros will send Doug Fister (7-3, 3.26) to the hill. He's 6-0 with a 2.35 ERA since the beginning of May and the Astros have won each of his last nine starts. He allowed three runs on five hits and four walks in an 8-6 win at LA on May 29, not factoring in the decision. He's posted a 2.74 ERA in 10 career starts against the Halos.
Los Angeles turns to Jhoulys Chacin (3-4, 5.00 ERA) who is 1-1 with a 7.04 ERA in three outings so far this month. Chacin is 1-3 with a 5.28 ERA on the road this season and we can note that the current Astro hitters are batting .306 against him.
Angels are 1-5 in their last six road games vs. a right-handed starter and 0-4 in their last four during Game 1 of a series. Astros are 5-1 in their last six home games.
