Astros, Orioles Lead MLB Action June 21 Across Multiple Stadiums

The Houston Astros are favored to win their MLB matchup against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, continuing their strong season with a record of 44-32. Astros pitcher Brandon Walter, who has a 1.53 ERA this year, will face Angels' José Soriano, with the Astros recently securing a 3-2 extra-innings victory over the Angels. Meanwhile, the Baltimore Orioles have shown improvement under interim manager Tony Mansolino, going 17-14 after a poor start, and possess two of the best starting pitchers available for the trade deadline, including Tomoyuki Sugano. The Orioles aim to rebuild strategically without a full-scale sell-off, retaining key players like Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman. In an AL East contest, the Orioles look to extend their momentum against the struggling New York Yankees, who have lost seven of their last eight games, with pitching matchups featuring Zach Eflin and Clarke Schmidt offering intriguing betting angles. Additionally, the Milwaukee Brewers will visit the Minnesota Twins in an interleague game where veteran Jose Quintana's consistent pitching gives them an edge over the young and inconsistent Simeon Woods Richardson.
