Tigers vs Astros Predictions and Picks
"Houston went 4-2 in the regular season series between these two, but the Tigers won when it counted, sweeping Houston in a Wild Card series. Detroit returns to the scene of the crime playing some solid baseball, having won seven of nine games prior to Sunday .... On top of being one of the better hitting teams in the league, the Tigers are one of the more patient as well, with 102 walks in 27 games. Detroit is 3-1 in their last four games at Daikin Park. Take the Tigers." — Craig Forde, Statsalt
"Ronel Blanco was outstanding in 2024, going 13-6 with a 2.80 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 29 starts and one relief appearance (167.1 innings pitched). Blanco has struggled since the start of the 2025 season, but keep in mind that the current Tigers are only 1-for-17 against him .... He'll be fired up to stay on the right track when the Tigers come to town, so I'm going with the Astros, who are 15-for-71 with a double and a triple against Jack Flaherty." — Viktor Allenson, Winners and Whiners
"Detroit comes into this series with one of the best records in all of baseball, but they are just 5-7 on the road. Houston started the season struggling at the plate, but they have played better over the last two weeks and are 9-6 at home .... Flaherty has pitched well this season, but Detroit is just 1-4 in his five outings. Take Houston to get the win here." — David Racey, PickDawgz
