The Houston Astros will try to avoid the sweep in Detroit as they take on the Tigers in Game Three of a three-game series. First Pitch is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. EST, and the game will be available to watch via the MLB Network.
Houston’s offense has disappeared. For the third game in a row and fourth in five games, the Astros were held scoreless (all losses, of course). In three of those games, the pitching staff didn’t really help too much, giving up seven (vs. Baltimore, Aug. 15), 12, and 10. But then in yesterday’s game, the winning run was scored via a walk with bases loaded in extra innings. Framber Valdez is scheduled to start the game for the Astros. The ace has gone 11-6 in 24 starts with a 3.01 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and a .230 OBA. However, he has not been as great on the road, where he is 6-4 in 12 starts with a 4.22 ERA and a .247 OBA. As for the Lions, they’ll start Charlie Morton. Morton is 8-10 in 20 starts (26 appearances) with a 5.20 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and a .269 OBA. In his last home start, he was chased after 4 1/3 innings after giving up seven hits (two home runs), and six earned runs.

Our Houston Astros vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
This game could go one of two ways: (1) Houston will continue to struggle at the plate and the Lions will score a couple of runs of the Astros relievers or (2) the version of Charlie Morton that has been shelled several teams this season will show up, Houston’s bats will come alive, and the Astros will score enough runs to win. However, the game plays out, one thing is sure—it will be low scoring. You can’t trust the Houston lineup, and Valdez will not give up more than a couple, if any at all.
