They enter this game with a 38-49 record overall and have a home record of 21-23. This is the 1st game of a 3-game series with the Astros on Tuesday and they had Monday off as a rest day.

He is 5-7 with a 3.84 ERA this season. His team lost 5 of their last 6 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 2 HRs, and 0 BB with 8 Ks on 5 hits through 5 IP against the Miami Marlins. 

The current betting odds have the Astros listed as a slight favorite in this game. They have been playing very well in their recent games as they have been on a big streak, rarely losing games during that streak. They have Garcia starting in this game and he has been good this season as he does not allow a lot of runs and is very consistent in his starts. The Angels have been awful this season and continue to lose games in blow out fashion. They were just swept by the Orioles in a 4-game series and now they have the team with the 2nd best record in the MLB coming into town here. The Astros have one of the best bullpens in the MLB as well and the Angels have been allowing a lot of runs in their recent games. Syndergaard is starting here for them and he has been alright but has had his bad starts and the Astros have a very good lineup that will find ways to score on him here. All the value is on Houston here with the way they have been playing recently. The best way to place a bet here is on the Astros to win this game.

"We got some timely hitting from some guys who played pretty good fundamental ball. Got ‘em over and got 'em in. Korey Lee had a big day in front of all his folks. He put on a good display." - Dusty Baker after his team’s win against the Athletics on Sunday.

 

 

"That's just frustrating. We didn't play a sound defensive game in a couple spots. We've got to keep grinding. I know what it looks like right now and I know where we're at. We've got a lot of good players. We're a team that has to play crisp, clean baseball and we didn't do that today." - Phil Nevin after his team’s loss against the Orioles on Sunday.
