| MLB | (917) Houston Astros at (918) Detroit Tigers: Total | 1:40pm EDT - Jun 28/2026 |
The PLAY: Total Over 7.5 (-120) Hunter Brown (RHP), Jack Flaherty (RHP) Must Start
Saturday's game produced 14 runs. Sunday's game should also be relatively high-scoring. Flaherty is 1-8 with a 5.35 ERA and 1.57 WHIP on the season. Four of his past five starts have finished with eight or more runs. Hunter Brown is still working his way back from injury. He's made just starts since late March. He lasted just three innings last time out and had this to say afterwords: "As a starting pitcher, you typically have four or five pitches so you can navigate any given night. Maybe three of those five are working, or even two. And tonight I just had zero. Just one of those games where I had really poor command and control. Just couldn’t really figure it out. Didn’t do the best I could, and it was not a good night." Let's go with the over. *good up to 8over20
