The Los Angeles Angels have left it too late to have a chance at the playoffs. Although they just had a decent run and are coming off a series win against the Detroit Tigers, it is not enough. However, they are providing a full dose of entertainment to the fans. After a rough season, fans can expect a bare minimum. Los Angeles, after all, could be that source.

Houston Astros vs. Los Angeles Angels: Pick
Lance McCullers Jr. gets ready to pitch for the Astros in Game 1. The 2017 All-Star has played only four games this season but has been super impressive. Lance was sidelined for almost a year, suffering from a stained flexor tendon. His comeback has been excellent so far, which is great news for the team. Watch him be a threat to the Angels Friday evening. A definite pick.
