#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin
(MLB) LA Angels vs. Houston, 07/24/2016 10:10 AM, Score: 3 - 13
Point Spread: 1.50 | -111.00 LA Angels (Away)
Result: Loss
Play: LA Angels +1.5
Rating: 5*

The Los Angeles Angels had opened the second half of the schedule with six consecutive wins before running into the Houston Astros. I like them to keep this a close game and possibly pull an upset following a pair of setbacks at Minute Maid Park.

Mike Fiers (6-4, 4.75 ERA) takes the ball for Houston. He surrendered seven runs on eight hits and two walks over 3 2/3 innings in a 7-2 loss to the Halos on May 27. He's 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA in three career starts against the Angels and 1-1 with a 6.23 ERA in his last four starts overall.

The Angels turn to Tim Lincecum (2-3, 6.59 ERA) who allowed five runs in 4 1/3 frames in a defeat to Houston on June 28, but he's still 5-1 with a 1.60 ERA in 10 career starts against the club. Luis Valbuena and Colby Rasmus are a combined 2-for-21 with nine strikeouts in previous meetings with Lincecum.

The Astros are 17-32 against the run-line home at Minute Maid Park this season, the Halos 28-21 against the run-line on the road.
