This is the first game of a doubleheader after Friday's game was rained out and Houston will try to extend its 11-game winning streak, which has vaulted the Astros into first place in the AL West. The Astros have scored 38 runs their last four games, including 12-3 over the Tigers on Thursday. Houston is looking to avenge a three-game sweep by Detroit in April and Framber Valdez has allowed only six earned runs in 32 1/3 innings for a 1.67 ERA and the Astros have won his past four starts. Casey Mize had a good month of May for Detroit, but he has slipped a little this month with a 4.38 ERA and .261 opponent batting average in 24 2/3 innings in June. Houston is 21-8 its past 29 games versus right-handed starters and 50-19 its past 69 games against AL Central teams. Take the Astros.
