Los Angeles at Houston

Los Angeles has been a streaky team all season, and it's looking to extend a two-game win streak after beating the Astros the past two days. The Angels have only allowed three runs in the first three games of this series after giving up 27 runs in their previous two games against Texas. The Angels enjoyed a 3-0 victory on Sunday when Oswald Peraza's two hits included a go-ahead homer, and Houston was held to two hits. Los Angeles has won nine of its 11 Monday games, while Houston has lost six of its seven division games and four of its seven overall. Luis Garcia will make his first start since 2023, when he had Tommy John surgery. The Astros were only 13-15 in August. Yusei Kikuchi has faced the Astros once this year and allowed two runs on six hits in seven innings. Take the Angels.
