BTB Betting Pick

The Astros are favored with a moneyline of -180 against the Angels’ +151. Given the Astros’ stronger Spring Training pitching stats with an ERA of 3.51 and BAA of .212, they are likely to win. The Angels’ higher ERA of 5.60 and BAA of .262 suggest challenges against the Astros’ lineup.
