Tigers vs. Astros Prediction

This is the second game of a potential three-game playoff series. The Tigers stole Game 1 yesterday, winning 3-1, as the Tigers put up all three of their runs in the second inning. The Astros have their backs against the wall tonight in this win-or-go-home game for Houston. Can the Astros win this Wild Card Series? I am not sure if they win this series, but I think they win tonight's game, and win big!

The Astros are third in the league in batting average (.262). The Astros are a better hitting team at home, with an average of .267 compared to their overall average of .262. Houston will be ready to go against this good Tigers team and are hoping to win their first game of the playoffs tonight in front of a rowdy crowd at Minute Maid Park. Jose Altuve and company had a solid home record this season going 46-35 in front of the loyal "Stros Fans" and I think that they get a big win tonight!

Take the Astros -1 today! Let's cash!
