Late night sports betting and a last minute sports betting pick for the Los Angeles Angels vs Houston Astros game that starts at 5:10 Pacific Standard time and 8:10 p.m. Eastern tonight. Here is the Rundown’s Best Bet for today.
The Angels’ early-season problem has been winning streaks – they’re 5-10 after a win, but 10-8 after a loss. Last night, they lost 5-1 in Houston.
It’s not appealing at first glance, but you could actually make the argument L.A. wins this pitching matchup. Astros starter Jose Urquidy has the better ERA than Andrew Heaney, but Heaney boasts the better advanced metrics (12.9 K/9 and 2.99 FIP to Urquidy’s 6.4 and 4.31). Also worth noting: Shohei Ohtani has a home run in just two career ABs against Urquidy.
The Astros are getting tons of public love but the line has moved in the Angels’ direction. You know what to do.
Pick: Angels +104
