T.Houck o2.5 Earned Runs+105

Houck is over this line in each of his L5 and 6/8 starts overall. Only 2 ER in his first start vs LAA, but allowed 4 hits and 4 walks. I like the familiarity for LAA in the second go-around. Angels top 7 in OPS, wRC+, and hard hit rate over the L2 weeks vs RHP.

Available at FanDuel. There's some uncertainty here with Jaime Barria stretching out into a starter, but he has been good in a long-relief role this year. With the velo on his four-seamer up, Barria has held opponents to a 24.2% hard-hit rate. That's even while at times going longer than 50 pitches, and he probably won't be out there for more than 70 tonight. If he struggles getting stretched out, we may not notice it yet. Tanner Houck is due for some positive regression, but I do think there's some value in the Angels at home here.
