The Astros are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings against the Tigers but are 2-4 in their last 6 visits in Detroit.
In this Astros vs Tigers Prediction, the Astros are coming as -130 road favorites. I am with the Astros in this one as they have the pitching edge with Brown going up against Jack Flaherty. Brown has been elite so far this season, having given up just three runs in his four starts, while Flaherty has given up at least three runs in in seven of his ten starts this season and has a terrible 1-8 record. The Astros have been playing good baseball and are 7-3 in their last 10 games, so I expect them to get the job done on the road in this one.
