 The Angels are coming off the largest loss in franchise history yesterday, falling to the A's, 21-3. LA allowed 38 runs total in three games against Oakland, the most the team has ever allowed in a three-game series.

 The Astros dropped two of three against Seattle, including a 9-0 loss in the rubber game that tied Houston's largest margin of defeat this season. Houston is 13-22 (.371) against AL West opponents at home this season, the fourth-worst mark by any team at home against divisional foes.

 Gerrit Cole has 260 strikeouts over his first 30 career starts with the Astros. Only Chris Sale (287 K's with Boston in 2017) and Nolan Ryan (279 K's with Texas in 1979) have piled up more strikeouts through the first 30 career starts with any team in AL history.

 Over his last four starts, Andrew Heaney has a 2.25 ERA and a 9.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 24.0 innings. In four starts against Houston this season, Heaney is 3-1 with a 2.42 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP.

 Since August 1, Shohei Ohtani has a 1.149 OPS and Mike Trout has a 1.103 OPS. That ranks first and second, respectively, in the AL over that time (minimum 100 PA). Trout has a .463 OBP this season, which is on pace to be the highest by a qualified AL player since Jason Giambi in 2001 (.477 OBP).

 Alex Bregman is one of four players all-time aged 24 or younger with 30+ home runs, 50+ doubles and 100+ RBI in a single season (RBI became an official stat in 1920). The other three players are Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez and Lou Gehrig.

HP - De Jesus, 1B - Barksdale, 2B - Little, 3B - Barrett

HOUSTON -- For most of the season, Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch has worked the line between managing the workload of his starters while letting his veteran pitchers do what they've always done, which is take pride in their ability to make their turn in the rotation on schedule.
As a result of optimal health, the Astros (97-57) feature three pitchers ranked in the top 10 in the majors in innings: right-hander Justin Verlander, who worked six strong in a 10-5 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday to run his season total to 208 innings; left-hander Dallas Keuchel (196 2/3 innings), and right-hander Gerrit Cole (194 1/3). Only four pitchers besides Verlander have worked 200 innings this season. The Astros could finish with three.

Morton hopes to pitch Astros to sweep of Angels

HOUSTON (AP)  Charlie Morton's start was going to be short; Astros manager A.J. Hinch just didn't think this short.
After noticing a dip in velocity, Morton left Houston's 6-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday after one inning because of discomfort in his pitching shoulder. That is a potential problem for the World Series champions, who opened a 4 1/2-game lead over second-place Oakland entering the finakl week as they close in on consecutive AL West titles.
