The Angels and Astros are in the midst of their final series of the season. After last night, Houston has won 11 of the 16 meetings thus far. It's safe to say that the Angels haven't had the season they were expecting. Meanwhile, the Astros are the betting favorites to win the American League and return to the World Series. Despite the lopsided records, Los Angeles does have the reigning AL MVP in Shohei Ohtani and 3-time MVP-winner Mike Trout. That always makes these matchups interesting to break down.

Let's take a closer look at each leg of our same game parlay.
Los Angeles Angels -1.5 (+188) over Houston Astros
Despite the Astros being the class of the American League, they aren't nearly as large of favorites as usual. That's due to Ohtani getting the nod for the Angels. Otherwise, we would see something like Houston at a -225 price, similar to last night's matchup. That should illustrate just how incredible Ohtani continues to be. The term generational talent is thrown around when discussing him, and it's for good reason. He's doing things that haven't been done since Babe Ruth, or ever.
