<p>An American League West battle begins Thursday night when the Los Angeles Angels (30-27, 15-14 away) visit the Houston Astros (32-23, 15-13 home). These two teams are in the trailing pack in the AL West and this is an important series as the calendar turns to June. Below is my MLB pick for the Los Angeles Angels vs Houston Astros.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-los-angeles-angels-vs-houston-astros-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>Los Angeles Angels vs Houston Astros Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: Houston Astros -191</p>



<p>This game will be played at Minute Maid Park at 8:10 p.m. on Thursday, June 1, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-houston-astros"><a></a>Why Bet the Houston Astros:</h2>



<p>✅ Houston is hot right now having won 15 of their last 20 games played.</p>



<p>✅ The Astros have won seven of their last nine games at Minute Maid Park.</p>



<p>✅ Los Angeles has lost 11 of their last 15 games against Houston.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-los-angeles-angels-need-to-show-up"><a></a>Los Angeles Angels Need to Show Up</h2>



<p>Los Angeles is having a typical season for them as they continue to hover around .500 but can never quite get the momentum to make a push for first place. The Angels enter this series after winning two of three against the Chicago White Sox. Trailing the Rangers by six games, the Angels need a good June to stay in the AL West race.</p>



<p>Reid Detmers is set to make his 10<sup>th</sup> start of the season and he needs to be better. The young lefty is 0-4 with a 4.93 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 45.2 innings pitched.</p>



<p>Shohei Ohtani is still the best player in baseball as he leads the Angels with 15 home runs and 38 RBIs. Gio Urshela is batting a team high .307.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-houston-astros-are-coming-off-a-bad-series">The Houston Astros Are Coming Off a Bad Series</h2>



<p>Houston had a nice May schedule and they took full advantage of that. Being in a division with the Oakland Athletics is going to artificially increase your win column and the Astros took all six games against the A’s over the past few weeks. Houston enters this series having lost two of three, at home, against Minnesota. The Astros are three games back of the first place Texas Rangers.</p>



<p>Framber Valdez will be making his 11<sup>th</sup> start of the year and he has been brilliant. Valdez is 5-4 with a 2.38 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 72.0 innings pitched.</p>



<p>Yordan Valdez is mashing this season as he leads the Astros with 14 home runs and 48 RBIs. Mauricio Dubon is batting a team high .290 through the first two months.</p>

Los Angeles Angels vs Houston Astros Betting Pick & Prediction - 06/01/23

Let’s see if we can keep some Big 12 mojo going after yesterday’s easy winner on the over between West Virginia and Oklahoma State. Our focus will be on the latest tip of the night between Kansas and TCU.

The Horned Frogs are the host squad in Fort Worth for this one, but the money has been coming in on Kansas, as the Jayhawks are up to -5.5 in the markets with a total of 139 at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker"><strong>Bookmaker Sportsbook</strong></a>. Citing the odds from Bookmaker brought us some luck yesterday, so we’ll do it again today and remind you that a 100% Deposit Match Bonus awaits with your first deposit.

Will it be Rock <strong>Chalk</strong> Jayhawk in this one? Or will the Horned Frogs come away with a cover and maybe even an outright upset? Let’s find out.
<h3><strong><u>Kansas</u></strong><strong><u> Jayhawks</u></strong></h3>
Bill Self’s bunch is coming off of a hideously bad performance against Texas over the weekend. Only 1,500 fans are allowed in Phog Allen Fieldhouse, but you can bet that their voices were heard in Kansas’s 25-point home loss to Texas. The Jayhawks went 3-of-23 from 3 and just 20-of-65 from the field as a whole in the 84-59 blowout loss.

You’d have to think that there is nowhere to go but up. Kansas is 8-2 on the young year with a 4-5 mark against the number. The game against Washburn was not lined. Kansas failed to cover in a four-point win over Kentucky and also in a one-point win over Creighton. They did cover with an outright win in Lubbock to start 1-0 in conference play.

The Jayhawks had .802 points per possession against Texas on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Longhorns scored 1.142 PPP. That was the second-worst defensive performance for Kansas. The worst came in the season opener against Gonzaga, but the Bulldogs will do that to a lot of teams.

There is still a ton of talent on this Kansas roster, even with last season’s departures. The problem is that freshman Jalen Wilson has outshined the returnees in a lot of ways. The upper classmen need to be better and more consistent for Kansas. The Jayhawks also need to get inside more frequently. They’ve been a bad jump shooting team this season, shooting just 29% from the mid-range and 35.6% from 3. The 35.6% does crack the top 100, but Kansas has struggled to shoot over the length of Kentucky and Texas.

<h3><strong><u>TCU Horned Frogs</u></strong></h3>
Jamie Dixon’s TCU team lost a thriller to Oklahoma and followed that up with a non-conference loss to Providence. This is a little bit of a tough spot for TCU. They’ve only played once since December 22 and just played a really awful game against a Prairie View A&amp;M team that ranks near the bottom 50 in the country.

In that game, TCU had .898 PPP, which was the second-lowest output of the season for the Horned Frogs. Their only game that came in lower was against Liberty, which was a bit of a surprise in and of itself. TCU ranks 57th nationally in 2P%, but 293rd in FT%. The Horned Frogs will have to get better at the line, especially in games projected to be close like most of their Big 12 contests.

Opponents are only shooting 28.2% from distance against TCU. They’ve really committed to defending the 3 and have been able to rotate in a lot of guys to keep the defensive legs fresh. North Dakota State is the only team to make more than seven three-pointers in a game against TCU this season.

Like I said, Kansas needs to get the ball inside. If they’re going to rely on the long-distance jumpers, they’re going to play right into the strengths of this TCU defense. If the Jayhawks are struggling defensively, they could resort to Hack-A-Sam, which means fouling TCU big man Kevin Samuel. The 6-foot-11 junior is shooting 65.3% from the floor and just 45.2% at the free throw line. In his collegiate career, Samuel is a 41.2% free throw shooter.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
This looks like a down and dirty defensive affair. Kansas has played some elevated tempo games, but it seems as though they’ve just let the opponents dictate the pace. TCU is below average in tempo and Dixon’s team will probably keep slowing down as the season progresses. They were 320th in adjusted tempo last season.

Kansas can’t consistently get to the interior to get high-percentage looks and TCU defends the perimeter well. Kansas has seen better days defensively, but the Jayhawks still have length and athleticism and have been able to play quality defense without fouling.

I’m looking under 139 in this one.
<h4><strong>Pick: Under 139</strong></h4>
