Tigers vs Astros predictions
Heading into the game at Minute Maid Park, the Detroit Tigers are looking to leverage some key performances. Tarik Skubal on the mound has been an asset with an impressive ERA of 1.92 this season, striking out 96 batters so far, suggesting he might just maintain that momentum against the Astros. Alongside him, Riley Greene seems to be on a hot streak, leading the team with 12 home runs and batting an RBI of 30. We might see Greene rack up more hits, given his consistent performance. Also, keep an eye on Mark Canha who could likely get on base a few times and potentially steal a base or two, adding crucial runs for the Tigers.
On the flip side, the Houston Astros aren't short of talent either. Jose Altuve, boasting a batting average of .294, seems ready to further solid municipalize the Astros' impressive hitting stats. Kyle Tucker, despite nursing a lower leg bruise, will still be a player to watch if he makes an appearance, potentially adding to his total of 19 homers and 40 RBIs. Also, Yordan Alvarez, who's shown he can swing a mean bat, might just pull off a few surprises with his ability to drive in runs and maintain a solid on-base percentage.
Considering the factors and the current form of key players, it feels like the Astros might have a slight edge in this contest, particularly with their stronger batting lineup and home field advantage. However, if Skubal can silence the Astros' bats early, the Tigers could very well outpace the odds. It promises to be an engaging matchup, with Houston perhaps just nicking it by a small margin.
