Astros vs Tigers Predictions and Picks
Houston is 31-30 on the road and 4-6 over their past 10 games. The Astros rank 21st in runs scored, fourth in batting average, 13th in on-base percentage, and 15th in slugging percentage. They are 13th in terms of ERA for pitching.
Jose Altuve leads the team in homers. In Game 2, he went hitless and struck out twice. Houston has now been shut out three games in a row and four of their last five. Most of those losses were blowouts. The Astros will look to build on their strong pitching in Game 2 and finally get those bats going. The Houston starting pitcher is Framber Valdez, who has an 11-6 record and a 3.01 ERA. He has 16 quality starts this season and a 5.89 ERA in August.
Detroit is 41-24 at home and 8-2 over its previous 10 games. The Tigers rank seventh in runs, 12th in batting average, 15th in on-base percentage, and eighth in slugging percentage. They rank 10th in terms of ERA for pitching.
Riley Greene currently leads the team in batting average, home runs, and RBIs. In Game 2, he was hitless, with two walks. The Tigers will look to keep the shutout streak going and bounce back on offense. The Tigers' starting pitcher is Charlie Morton, who has an 8-10 record and a 5.20 ERA. He has eight quality starts this season, but lately, the home run ball and walks have been an issue.
Best Bet: Astros Spread
The Astros have not scored a run in three games, and this offense is due to breakout. Framber gives them a great chance to salvage the last game of this series, and Morton can give up home runs in bunches.
