Houston is on a 4-8 run and has lost three straight. They're favored again although they're on the road and just 6-8 in the last 14 starts made by Hunter Brown (4.50 ERA). The Astros are 23-32 as chalk of -150 or less. Detroit is on a 10-6 run with three of the losses by two or fewer runs. The Tigers play their fifth consecutive home contest and have their best arm going in Eduardo Rodriguez (3.03 ERA). He sports a 2.79 ERA at home this season and his teams are 81-47 when he starts in night games. With Detroit 26-24 after playing two or more straight home games, the wagering value is on the home team to win the game or lose by one run. Play Detroit on the runline.
