Detroit Tigers vs. Houston Astros Prediction

I’m on the Astros here. I get the case to be made for the Tigers here as this is still a solid Tigers’ lineup, but my thing is that the Tigers have been a much stronger and more formidable team to back when they’ve been at home, but on the road it’s a different story and we caught a glimpse of that in Monday’s opener. The Astros this season have played their best ball at home, and I think they keep it going here, so give me Houston.
