KEY GAME INFORMATION

LA ANGELS: Many prognosticators believe the big-budget Angels will come up just short of a playoff spot out of the competitive A.L. West after a season of taking on defending champ Texas, up-and-coming Houston and improved Seattle. The Angels' rotation is capable (if healthy) but not spectacular, while their lineup around Trout doesn't appear to be seriously improved on paper. Yet any team with Trout is a daily threat, and he still has talent around him. Pujols' recovery from offseason surgery has been promising so far, and the Angels are hoping for another step forward from Calhoun, their slugging Gold Glove winner. Plenty of eyes will be on Simmons, whose arrival to replace longtime shortstop Aybar could turn the Angels into an outstanding defensive team. They're also hoping for one more solid season out of veteran starters Weaver and Wilson, who are both due to be lavishly compensated in the final years of their contracts. If everything comes together, the Angels could be in position to get Trout's first playoff victory.

HOUSTON: Expectations are high for the Astros following last year's surprising return to the playoffs after a 10-year absence. The question will be if they can build on the success of 2015 and outdo in-state rival Texas in for the A.L. West crown. If they hope to repeat or eclipse last year's success, they'll need another strong season from Keuchel, and more growth from Correa. They know they can count on Altuve to get the offense going, but they'll have to get production from their corner infielders if they hope to take another step. Houston boosted its bullpen with the addition of Giles, a young closer who throws hard. But there are questions about the back of the rotation behind Keuchel and McHugh. Promising youngster Lance McCullers (6-7, 3.22 in 22 starts) will begin the season on the DL with a sore right shoulder. Gattis also is expected to start the year on the DL as he recovers from sports hernia surgery. But the bottom line is these Astros aren't going to sneak up on anyone the way they did last year, and they'll need to improve across the board to win that first World Series title as Sports Illustrated predicted.

PREVIEW

Astros need to avoid sweep to keep playoff hopes alive

HOUSTON -- This wasn't how the weekend seemed destined to play out, not with the Houston Astros in dogged pursuit of a postseason berth as an American League wild card and not with the lowly Los Angeles Angels playing out the string in a disappointing season.

On Saturday night, the Angels set the stage for a series sweep on Sunday with a 10-4 victory over the fading Astros (81-74), scoring nine runs in their final two at-bats to erase a three-run deficit and stun Houston for a second consecutive game.

In dropping their third successive game to the Angels, the Astros fell three games behind the Orioles for the second wild-card spot with seven games to play. Also between the Astros and Orioles are the Tigers (83-71) and Mariners (81-73), a sour turn of events for the Astros after they entered the weekend one game out of the postseason and hosting a team they'd defeated 11 times in 12 meetings.

"Obviously, it's tough," said Astros right fielder George Springer, who finished 4-for-5 with a triple and an RBI. "This is a tough stretch for us, but that's a good team over there. You can never count them out. They always play us tough and they have the last three days. But we have to come out tomorrow and it has to happen."

Rookie right-hander Joe Musgrove (3-4, 4.42 ERA) will make his first career start against the Angels (69-86) looking to help the Astros avert the sweep. Musgrove allowed one run and two hits in 5 1/3 innings on Sept. 20 at Oakland while pitching Houston to a 2-1 win.

Musgrove has enjoyed a strong start to his career at Minute Maid Park, surrendering just six runs in 29 innings in five appearances (four starts) at home.

Like Musgrove against Los Angeles, Angels right-hander Daniel Wright (0-4, 7.48 ERA) will make his first career appearance against the Astros. Wright, claimed off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds on Sept. 4, will make his fourth appearance for the Angels, his eighth appearance overall and sixth start on the season.

Wright made his Angels debut on Sept. 10 against the Rangers and did not factor in the decision. He made his major league debut with Cincinnati on May 24 at Dodger Stadium and pitched in four games (two starts) with the Reds before his release.

Behind solid starts from Ricky Nolasco, Alex Meyer and Jhoulys Chacin, and consecutive late-inning rallies against the Houston bullpen, the Angels have built surprising momentum heading into the series finale and the final week of the season. Whether they can carry that momentum into Sunday remains to be seen, but at this juncture, the Angels have made significant strides at the Astros' expense.

"It always gives you confidence when you're playing at a level, especially when you're coming back to win some games," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "But every game is it's only little story. You need to build momentum from pitch one of tomorrow's game to keep going. The first three games we've done a good job of that."
