Alvarez leads the team in batting average, home runs, and RBIs, while Altuve leads in at bats and has been performing well recently. Bregman has been hitting home runs and getting RBIs in the last few games. The Astros have a strong record at home but are only slightly above .500 on the road. Justin Verlander will be starting Game 2 of the series, coming off a rough stretch of games where he has struggled. Overall, Houston is ranked 10th in power rankings, 12th in offense, and 5th in defense with a record of 79-68 for the season.
Los Angeles Angels Analysis
The Los Angeles Angels are currently struggling with a team ERA ranking of 26th in the Majors, giving up a total of 21 runs in their recent three-game losing streak. They only managed three hits in a 5-3 loss in Game 1 of the series. Zach Neto leads the team in batting average and RBI, while Taylor Ward leads in home runs.

Houston Astros Dominate Angels with Two Consecutive Wins, but Los Angeles Looks to Upset in Upcoming Game
The Houston Astros have won their last two games, positioning themselves well for another successful playoff run, while the Los Angeles Angels are unlikely to make the playoffs this season. Houston emerged victorious in Game 1 of their series against the Angels, holding a 4-3 record against them so far this season. Despite a recent rough patch, including his worst outing of the season in his last start, Justin Verlander has struggled in his last three appearances. The Angels, plagued by injuries throughout the season, are expected to capitalize on Verlander's current struggles. Angel's pitcher, Brett Anderson, has had inconsistent performances in his last four starts, but is predicted to significantly outperform Verlander in the upcoming game. Due to these factors, the Angels are the recommended pick to win as the underdog, with a +150 betting line.
