Detroit Tigers vs Houston Astros Prediction & Picks - MLB

 by Edgar Jibran | in MLB Picks

The American League Wild Card Series already started last Tuesday, October 01st, and one of the biggest surprises was Detroit’s victory over the Astros. With that first result, the main expectation for the second game of the series is having much more offensive tactics from the Astros since the early stages of the game to avoid a premature elimination that would be disappointing after winning the AL West Division on the regular season.

With that objective in mind, it’s completely necessary for Jose Altuve to increase his effectiveness as he was only able to connect 1 hit during the first game of the series. In this regard, Yordan Alvarez, Alex Bregman and Zach Dezenzo were more productive than Altuve, a situation that must be immediately attended by their head coach, Joe Espada.

Meanwhile, Detroit Tigers finished with the game in an ambush during the second inning of the game, in which they were able to score the 3 winning runs by taking advantage of Jake Rogers and Matt Vierling’s ground balls, as well as Trey Sweeney’s sharp line, all through the center field. However, Riley Greene was only able to connect 1 hit, so he must appear in this second game to fulfill the expectation after being Detroit Tigers’ batting leader in the regular season.

Our Detroit Tigers vs Houston Astros Prediction

In conclusion, to win this game both teams must bring everything they’ve to the table, and even when it could be said that the Tigers aren’t using one of their best openers when comparing him with Brown, the reality is that he’s one of the most effective during the early stages. Therefore, the pick for Houston Astros – Detroit Tigers is: Under 7.5 Runs!
