Houston Astros vs Detroit Tigers Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Dan Angell in MLB Picks
The Houston Astros (12-24 SU, 13-23 ATS) face off with the Detroit Tigers (19-18 SU, 18-19 ATS) in the first game of their three-game series. The Astros have played a little better in recent weeks, but they’ve still dug themselves a fairly deep hole, and they’ve been pretty poor away from home this season.
Detroit is hoping for a better outcome than the past few times it came up against Houston. Last season, the Astros won two of the three meetings in Detroit by a combined score of 26-6. But the Tigers seem improved from last season, while the Astros don’t seem to be putting things together. Houston remains wasteful on the base paths, and its bullpen continues to be a weakness. Among American League teams, only Toronto and Tampa Bay have a worse bullpen ERA.

Our Houston Astros vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
Casey Mize has been the Tigers’ stopper all season, which is one of the main reasons why Detroit has stayed above .500. Mize hasn’t missed a lot of bats, but he gets plenty of outs. He hasn’t failed to get through five innings in any of his past four starts, and the Tigers have won all five of his starts.
The Astros haven’t named a starter yet, and the bullpen doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. Detroit’s bullpen, on the other hand, tends to put games away pretty regularly. The Tigers boast a 2.81 ERA from the bullpen, which makes it very difficult for opponents to come from behind in the late innings. As long as Mize pitches the way he has all season, Detroit should have the edge. Our prediction for Houston vs. Detroit is for the Tigers to win.
