Detroit at Houston

Detroit has the sure Cy Young Award winner going today in Tarik Skubal, but Houston can counter with Framber Valdez, who is 15-7 with a 2.91 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP and he has allowed only 11 runs the past two months in nine starts. The Astros have won 14 of his past 16 outings and Valdez has been especially tough at home where he owns a 2.53 ERA and a .216 opponent batting average. Houston has won eight in a row versus AL Central teams and seven straight a home when Valdez starts against teams with winning records. The Astros are 9-0-2 UNDER when Valdez starts as a favorite of -110 to -150 and they have stayed UNDER six straight in the first game of a series. Take the Astros and the UNDER.
