The Detroit Tigers and Houston Astros face off on Monday in an MLB showdown at Minute Maid Park.
Tigers Betting Preview
To say it’s been a disappointing season for the Tigers might be an understatement. The Tigers played the Tampa Bay Rays three times over the weekend and they managed only three runs total. The pitching has only been bad in one of the games but the offense hasn’t given them much of a chance to win. Catcher Jake Rogers has hit one home run and driven in a run. Getting the start for the Tigers will be Matthew Boyd and last season with the Seattle Mariners he only pitched 13.1 innings.
Astros Betting Preview
The Astros can’t be very happy with the way the first series went against the Chicago White Sox. On Sunday the Astros scored only three runs while the pitching gave up six runs. Two of the runs were scored for the Astros in the 9th inning, and they need the offense to get going earlier here. Yordan Alvarez has hit one home run and driven in five RBIs so far this season. Getting the start for the Astros will be Hunter Brown and last season he had seven appearances and finished with an ERA of 0.89.

The over is 5-0 in Boyd’s last five starts. The over is 3-0-2 in the Tigers' last five games on Monday. The Astros are 9-2 in their last 11 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game.
Shane’s Free Pick
The Tigers' offense has been awful to start the season, and it’s not going to be any different in this game. Brown last season with an ERA of 0.89 and he’s going to lockdown the Tigers' offense here. The Astros might not score eight or nine runs score here, but they are going to score enough to find success for a comfortable victory. Back the Astros -2.5.
