Astros vs Tigers Prediction

You can make a case for either the Tigers or Astros, as they’re both playing decent ball as of late. Olson and Gusto have also been solid this season. Olson has allowed just six runs in his last 22.2 innings, while Gusto has allowed seven runs in his last 20.2 innings. This should be a good one. The problem in this spot, as we’re getting a pick’em price, so I have to give the edge to the Astros at home. Give me some bang for my buck, and I would look in the Tigers’ direction. At this price, I have to side with the Astros.
