Astros said Jeremy Peña Saturday’s move was due to a right hamstring strain. If that’s all, Peña should be available to start Sunday.

Los Angeles Angels DFS SPIN

Taylor Ward While the Angels beat the Astros 13-12 in 10 innings. Ward also hit the ball to end the game. It should have been a game-ending double play for the Astros, but Gere Kessinger, playing for the injured Jeremy Peña, threw the ball away on the relay, allowing pinch runner Terry Klem to score the game-winner. The Angels won the game despite being down 9-3 after the Astros scored five runs in the top of the seventh. The Angels answered with six runs in the bottom of the inning and then had to rally again for three runs to tie the game at 12-12 in the bottom of the ninth.

Astros vs. Betting Prediction Angels MLB

Xavier has won five straight starts and is 7-1 with a 4.34 ERA on the season, despite recording five straight no-decisions before snapping this winless skid. He has also had a lot of success against the Angels, posting a 5-1 record with a 2.49 ERA in 10 career appearances (six starts) against the Angels. In fact, his 5-game hitting streak began earlier this season against the Angels. Even though he has a 15.19 ERA over his last three games, I like Xavier to rebound against an Angels lineup that doesn’t have injured starters Mike Trout or Anthony Rendon.
