(MLB) LA Angels vs. Houston,
Money Line: -148.00 LA Angels (Away)
Result: Win
The Angels have gotten off to a rather porous start, starting the year off 0-3. Like last season, the Angels have high expectations and things haven't gone smoothly thus far. This is a long season, however, and it isn't time for them to be concerned. The Astros may be just what the Angels ordered. While they had a great series against the Yanks, taking 2 of 3 from them, in my eyes though they are still the worst team in MLB. I have made plenty of coin fading Harrell last season, and in this young season, I'll look to do it again in his first start. Harrell finished the 2013 campaign with a record of 6-17 with a miserable ERA of 5.86. His WHIP was also atrocious at 1.70. Which means he nearly put 2 runners on base per inning, which is simply bad! The Angels should be able to get to the Houston bullpen early, as he got to 7 innings on only four occasions last season. Note that Harrell has been getting killed in spring season as well, posting a 7.80 ERA in 15 innings pitched. I expect the Angels' offense to get on track in this matchup. Take the LAA here tonight.
