It is apparent the Los Angeles Angels just want this season to end, after getting outscored by the Oakland Athletics 31-3 in their last two outings. Tonight the Angels will travel to Minute Maid Park to face the Houston Astros for a 3-game set. Houston’s Gerrit Cole, who is 14-5 with an ERA of 2.88, will square off against the Angel’s lefty Andrew Heaney, who is 9-9 with an ERA of 3.97. Houston has won 7 of the last 10 meetings and are 6-0 in Cole’s last 6 home starts against teams with a losing record. The Astros can feel the heat from the Oakland Athletics and know they have to take care of business in this series.
