<p>The Angels and the Astros look set to fire up the field in an afternoon showdown. With a 4:07 pm start on the East Coast, it&#8217;s Cristian Javier against Griffin Canning as the Astros are tipped as the -127 favorites. The total listed at 9.5 stirs up the excitement of a high-scoring game. The Astros, eager to shake off a three-game losing streak, will undoubtedly face a stiff challenge against the might of Shohei Ohtani, but Canning&#8217;s struggles this season could offer them a way in.</p>
<p>Looking at the statistics, a thrilling encounter between the bats seems likely, given the rough start both have righties Javier and Canning, have had this season. A possible high-scoring game, filled with home runs, could break out on the field, particularly with the Astros hoping to rekindle their offensive fire, which has been somewhat dormant this 2023 season.</p>
<p>Canning&#8217;s 2023 season has been unimpressive, with a WHIP of 1.33 and a K rate just above 20%. His splits also raise concerns, with a .331 weighted on-base average to lefties and a .329 to righties.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Javier brings intriguing stats to the mound. He&#8217;s been decent with a WHIP of 1.06, a good K rate, and reasonable walk rates. His splits are also remarkable, holding a weighted on-base average of .272 and a .296 to lefties, which are good numbers. However, his slightly elevated ISO power numbers from both sides of the plate could be an area of concern.</p>
<p>As the Angels take on the Astros, we may see a blast from power hitters like Mike Trout or Otani. This MLB showdown is one to watch, offering a potential feast for baseball and betting enthusiasts alike.</p>
