Houston Astros -1.5 RL
The Astros should be able to complete the series sweep here.
Both pitchers are right-handed and they are in the same division but that's about where the similarities end. For the Astros, Blanco is 31-years old and has been having a very solid season with a 2.99 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. He also should be well rested as he pitched 42 pitchers in relief a week ago when the Astros beat the Diamondbacks in 11 innings. And it being the Astros, since the rebuild, they are consistently one of the best late season teams.
On the other side is 20-year old Caden Dana who has a total of 7-innings pitched on 138 total pitches thrown in his young career. In his one start he did have 5 strikeouts and 5 walks but also ended up with 7 earned runs.
As for hitting, the Astros are hot right now with a .290 average in their last 10 games, while the Angels are batting .210 in their last 10.
With Blanco's experience, his current season with good rest and the way the Astros are hitting, I imagine the Astros win this by 2 or more.
