Astros vs. Tigers Picks
Money Line Pick for Astros vs. Tigers
- Detroit Tigers ML (4 Units)
The Tigers have the edge here because they’ve played well offensively in recent home games. They’ve done well against right-handers, and they’re facing Teng, who struggled on the mound in recent starts, giving up 13 runs in his last three starts. He gave up five runs in his last start against the Tigers and will have a hard time slowing them down.
The Astros won’t be as successful offensively because they struggled in recent road games, failing to score more than three runs in three of their last four road games. They’re not very good against left-handers, and they’re facing Valdez, who has looked good on the mound in recent starts, giving up seven runs in his last four starts and six runs in his last three home starts. He gave up one run in his last start against the Tigers and will keep their offense in check. Take Detroit on the money line.
Over/Under Pick for Astros vs. Tigers
- Under (4 Units)
The Astros average 4.51 runs per game. They’re batting .238 against left-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up six runs in his last three home starts. The Tigers average 4.05 runs per game. They’re batting .240 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up 10 runs in his last three road starts. Don’t expect these teams to score enough runs to push the score over the total.
