Detroit at Houston

The Detroit Tigers saw a five-game winning streak come to an end yesterday as they take to the road to face the Astros. Houston was 1-2 in their series vs. the Yankees, losing yesterday in a close one 5-4. Ricky Porcello had an outstanding rookie season for the Tigers, but has not pitched to better than a 4.49 ERA in any season since, and has been dreadful this season at 8.84. Jordan Lyles will get a second chance in the rotation for the Astros. After being demoted to AAA Oklahoma City he dazzled there, and could be a confident and rejuvenated pitcher for this start. The Tigers are just 3-10 in Porcelo's last 13 starts, not a good spot for a large chalk. Take Houston.
