Houston Astros vs Detroit Tigers Prediction 10-2-24 MLB Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Houston Astros vs Detroit Tigers Prediction for this MLB Game on Wednesday, October 2nd, at Minute Maid Park. 

Tigers Have Confidence

The Tigers have the confidence after winning the first game of the series but they don’t have the home field because unless they are able to win this series, they won’t be playing any games at home. On Tuesday the Tigers pitching was impressive, and although it got a little hairy in the 9th inning they still ended up holding on for the win. Tarik Skubal had a huge regular season and he continued that in the postseason. He went six innings giving up four hits and zero runs. 

Jason Foley had some issues late, and he gave up three hits and one run late. Beau Brieske ended up coming in though and he went 0.2 innings giving up zero hits and zero runs. Jake Rogers was the top bat finishing with two hits and one run driven in. It’s unclear at this point who is going to start this Game for the Tigers, but with the team needing only one it’s no doubt going to be all hands on deck. If they fall behind though they could end up going to a long reliever to eat some innings and try again in the third Game. 

Backs Against the Wall for Astros

The backs are against the wall for the Astros after they were knocked out in the first Game. Framber Valdez got the Game one start and he wasn’t good enough going 4.1 innings giving up seven hits and three runs. The bullpen also used five players and that has to be a big concern heading into this Game. The offfense couldn’t get much going and Yanier Diaz ended up being the top batter finishing with one hit, one walk, and one RBI. 

Getting the start in this Game will be the Astros will be Hunter Brown and he needs to have his best start of the season. During the regular season Brown had an 11-9 record and an ERA of 3.49. In his last start against the Seattle Mariners he went six innings giving up three hits and one run. 

Houston Astros vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

The Tigers won the first game of the season, but their offense still wasn’t great, scoring three runs. Hunter Brown gets the start for the Astros and he has been good heading into this game. In his last start he went six innings giving up three hits and one run. For the Astros I also expect their offense is going to have issues, much like they did on Tuesday night. This game is going to be lower scoring and the under is going to cash.
