Result: Win
Play: Detroit Tigers
Rating: 8/10*
The Detroit Tigers snapped a four-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory against the Houston Astros yesterday. They hand the ball to Justin Verlander Sunday afternoon, and I think they'll at the very least keep this a close enough game to cover the runline.
Justin Verlander (5-7, 4.50 ERA) has pitched well lately, posting a 2.77 ERA through his last four starts. He has pitched well against Houston throughout his career, going 4-0 with a strong 2.83 ERA in eight career starts.
The Astros hand the ball to Lance McCullers Jr. (7-2, 3.67 ERA) who has been torched for 15 runs in just 13 2/3 innings of work in his last three starts combined.
The Tigers are 13-5 in the last 18 meetings at Comerica Park. There's however a reason why the Astros have the best record in the American League, and the +1.5 runs on Tigers could prove to be very valuable.
