Los Angeles Angels vs Houston Astros Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/30/25

In this game, we will see the Los Angeles Angels take on the Houston Astros. Last night, the Astros won the game 2-0. On the mound today, we have Kyle Hendricks of the Angels and Spencer Arrighetti of the Astros. Hendricks is having a rough season with a 5.04 ERA and a 6-9 record. Things have gotten worse in his last 3 starts where he has given up 13 runs in 13.2 innings. Hendricks has given up 3+ runs in 7 of his last 9 starts. Facing him will be an Astros lineup that rank 4^th in batting average with a .254 on the season. Additionally, the Astros have a 41-28 home record and are riding a 3-game win streak.

For the Astros, Arrighetti will take the mound. This is always worrying for the Astros as they have lost the game in his last 5 starts. On the season, he has a 6.21 ERA with a 1-5 record. While these numbers are discouraging, he does hold a 2.45 ERA at home giving up 3 runs in 11 innings pitched. He will also be facing an Angels lineup that is batting .176 and averaging 2.33 runs per game over the past 6 games. Batting like this can make any pitcher look good. Outside of the starters, the Astros bullpen has been pitching very well while the Angels pen holds some of the worst statistics in the MLB. All in all, I suspect that the Astros have the starting pitcher edge, the hitting edge, and the bullpen edge. I am taking the Astros to get the win today.
