The Houston Astros and the Detroit Tigers meet Friday in MLB action from Comerica Park. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Houston Astros vs. Detroit Tigers prediction.
The Houston Astros will send out Spencer Arrighetti for the start and Arrighetti is 7-3 with a 3.13 ERA and 68 strikeouts this season. Keider Montero will start for Detroit and is 3-5 with a 3.68 ERA and 53 strikeouts this season.

Colt Keith’s added 54 hits with 8 doubles and 17 RBIs and Matt Vierling has 40 hits with 11 doubles, 5 home runs and 27 RBIs.
I’m backing the Tigers here. Houston was able to hold down the Tigers on Thursday, but as well as Spencer Arrighetti has pitched at times this season, he’s starting to regress over recent starts and I think the Tigers get to him here. On the flipside, Keider Montero is someone I have concerns about as well, but I think that Houston has issues getting to him and in the end I still trust Detroit more here so give me the Tigers.
