Astros vs Tigers Prediction
The Tigers have been a disaster on the road this season, and they haven’t had much success stringing wins together overall. Valdez is hit or miss with his 4.04 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and .249 allowed batting average. The Astros have played decent ball over the last few weeks, and while Brown has pitched just 10.2 innings, a 0.84 ERA and 1.03 WHIP are just that. he looks good despite the limited frames. The price isn’t too steep. I’ll side with the Astros mainly due to my lack of trust in the Tigers this season.
