The Angels were 12-7 against the Astros last season. Only two of the 19 games were decided by fewer than three runs.

The Angels are coming off a 10-2 victory over the Rangers on Wednesday. Their 10 runs were the most they have scored in a game in which they failed to hit a home run since a 10-7 victory at Texas last July 13. They are 79-2 all-time when scoring 10+ runs in a game without the benefit of any homers.

The Astros have struggled offensively at home so far this season, averaging just 1.7 runs per game (tied with the Pirates for last in MLB) while batting .164 (29/177) as a team (29th, MLB; Pit - .159).

Mike Trout has had at least one hit in all nine of the Angels' games. This is his longest hitting streak to begin a season in his career, as well as the longest by any Angels' player to begin a season since Jeff Mathis had 1+ hit in his first 13 games of the 2010 season (April 5-June 22, 2010) (minimum 1 AB or SF in every game).

Jered Weaver has lost his last three starts, dating back to last September 26. He has really struggled in these outings, posting a 7.71 (14/16.1) ERA and .348 opponent average while allowing six home runs. However, he has pitched very well in his last three outings against the Astros (2-1, 1.64 (4/22.0) ERA, .147 opponent average).

Roberto Hernandez is winless (0-3, 5.33 (15/25.1) ERA) in his last six starts, dating back to September 1 of last year. Among pitchers with at least six starts since that date, he is one of the nine who have gone winless.
