Houston Astros - Detroit Tigers Key Points
- The Tigers have a 17-17 road record.
- The Astros carry an 18-18 home record.
- The total has gone over in four of Kent Maeda’s last five starts
- A 10 mph winds is forecasted to blow from home plate to left side of Minute Maid Park
Our Houston Astros vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
Prediction: The Astros have only produced 20 runs on a .262 batting average over their last six games while allowing a 5.00 ERA. On the other hand, the Tigers have scored 34 runs on .279 BA with a 3.33 ERA over their last five matches. The total has gone over in four of Maeda’s last five starts, though Arrighetti has only conceded three runs in his last 14.2 innings that span three games. Arrighetti is a solid hurler, but the question now is how will the Astros bullpen perform in this series finale. Another reason to believe that the total will exceed 8 runs is the weather, which is expected to have a 33 Celsius playing environment and 10 mph winds breezing from home plate towards the left stands of Minute Maid Park. Our betting prediction for Detroit Tigers vs. Houston Astros: Bet on OVER 8.5 runs, -110, at BetMGM.
