Houston Astros vs. Detroit Tigers: Astros in Search of a Series Win

As Houston Astros are ready for yet another game of the home series, Detroit Tigers look to level the series and play with confidence. Detroit Tigers have worked on themselves during the pre-season preparations and included some big names in their playing side. Talking about Detriot’s performance, they rattled Houston 30-25 in last year’s season. However, Detroit’s current form is very alarming as they have managed to only win 2 out of the last 10 games played.

Considering the consistent form of the Astros and their home conditions, they look likely the favorites to win. Astros defeated Seattle and won the 3 match series, 3-0. In the first encounter against the Tigers, the scoreline was 3-2, and Houston won it quite comfortably. Their key player, Yordan Alvarez, has been in the form of his life, as his eight home runs have been quite fascinating and absolutely thrilling to witness. For the upcoming game, all eyes will be on their starting pitcher, Justin Verlander, who looks in fine form with a 1.93 ERA.
