Houston Astros vs. Detroit Tigers MLB Picks, Odds, Predictions 6/24/2021

The Houston Astros and Detroit Tigers meet Thursday in MLB action at Comerica Park. The Astros look to build on their 10-game winning streak. The Tigers look for a win after winning six of their last nine games.

The Houston Astros have scored 26 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last eight games. The Astros have won nine straight games when scoring four or more runs. Yuli Gurriel leads the Astros with 81 hits and 51 RBI while Michael Brantley and Carlos Correa have combined for 157 hits and 73 RBI. Luis Garcia gets the ball, and he is 5-4 with a 2.82 ERA and 80 strikeouts this season. This will be Garcia’s second career game against the Tigers.

The Detroit Tigers have scored 19 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in seven of their last nine games. The Tigers have won nine of their last 12 games when scoring four or more runs. Jonathan Schoop leads the Tigers with 75 hits and 40 RBI while Jeimer Candelario and Robbie Grossman have combined for 126 hits and 53 RBI. Jose Urena gets the ball, and he is 2-7 with a 5.79 ERA and 41 strikeouts this season. This will be Urena’s second career game against the Astros.

The Astros are 4-1 in their last 5 road games and 38-18 in their last 56 overall. The Tigers are 42-87 in their last 129 home games and 84-171 in their last 255 overall. The over is 7-2 in Astros last 9 overall. The over is 10-4 in Tigers last 14 overall. The Astros are 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Detroit and 1-4 in the last 5 meetings.

The Tigers have been a sneaky underdog play at times this season, but I can’t get behind Urena on the mound. The Astros are also one of the hotter teams in the league and past years have shown us what they’re capable of when they get on these stretches. I’m not stepping in front of the Astros, and they should have a field day against a wild Urena. Give me the Astros and the RL for max betting value.
