It’s time to play Friday Night Baseball for the first time with the Astros vs Angels live stream, as Apple TV Plus directly carries live sports. The Astros have been almost unstoppable in the American League West in recent times, winning the division four times in the last season. They made it all the way to the World Series last year, losing out to the Atlanta Braves. And they continued that night, with a 3-1 win over the Angels.

In a huge shakeup for the Astros' roster, star shortstop Carol Correra is now at the Twins. There are though high hopes for young replacement Jeremy Peña. Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, Yuli Gurriel, Yordan Alvarez, Jose Altuve and Michael Brantleyn also feature in the lineup.
The Angels, meanwhile, will want to start their season positively as they look to make it to the postseason for the first time since 2014. The performance and health of big-hitter Mike Trout will be key to how far they progress over the coming months. The Angels have added Noah Syndergaard and Michael Lorenzen to their pitching roster, with Aaron Loup, Ryan Tepera and Archie Bradley also joining the bullpen. Raisel Iglesias has also re-signed as a closer.
The pitching battle in Friday's Astros vs Angels live stream is set to be between Jake Odorizzi for the Astros and Patrick Sandoval for the Angels. Apple announced that the team covering the game will be made up of Stephen Nelson (play-by-play), Hunter Pence (analyst), Katie Nolan (analyst), and Heidi Watney (reporter).
Here's how to watch it unfold, wherever you are.
