10* AL GAME OF THE WEEK TOP PLAY
(MLB) Houston vs. LA Angels,
Money Line: -111.00 LA Angels (Home)
Result: Loss
The Angels have a big edge on the mound this afternoon and I like them in this spot. Matt Shoemaker will start the Angels' series finale against the Astros on Sunday. Shoemaker pitched well in his first outing against Houston on April 20, yielding two runs over seven innings. He has gone 1-1 with a 4.78 ERA and 1.344 WHIP in six starts this season, including 1-1 with a 3.64 ERA in his last three starts. Shoemaker has owned the Astros, posting a 2.98 ERA and 1.071 WHIP in eight career starts against them. Mike Fiers is 0-1 with a 5.68 ERA and 1.540 WHIP in five starts this season, including 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA and 1.725 WHIP in three road starts. Fiers is also 1-2 with a 5.28 ERA in five career starts against the Angels. The Angels are 6-0 in Shoemaker's last six home starts and I'll back them here on Sunday.
