Houston at Detroit

The Detroit Tigers are well on their way to another losing season, which would be their fifth straight season failing to play .500 baseball or better. The rebuilding process is a slow one, and they have struggled against Houston as they have won just five of the last 18 meetings. They were destroyed in the series opener here, 12-3, and I just don't see the Tigers being very competitive in this series. Framber Valdez has won four straight starts for the Astros, and he has been steady in the process with opponents scoring three or fewer runs in all of them. Make the play on Houston.
