The slumping Los Angeles Angels have lost six straight games, and I think they're in for another tough matchup at Houston Sunday night.

The Astros hand the ball to Lance McCullers (7-3, 3.97 ERA) who is 4-0 with a 2.87 ERA home at Minute Maid Park on the season. He has struggled through his last couple of starts, but should come out fresh here as he will make his first start since Sept. 6. McCullers has held the Halos to one unearned run in 13 2/3 innings this season.

The Angels turn to Tyler Skaggs (2-6, 4.30 ERA) who is 1-5 through his last nine starts. He's 0-3 with a 3.93 ERA in seven starts on the road and the Angels are 2-5 in those games.

The Astros have won 10 of their last 11 home games and six of the last seven meetings with LAA.

My selection is an 8* play on Houston Astros.
