Skubal has allowed two or fewer runs in 24 of 31 outings, including one or zero runs in six of his last eight starts. Both bullpens rank in the top eight in ERA this season. The six regular season games played between these teams were split versus the total, 3-3. Houston finished the season ranked 10th overall with 4.6 runs per game while Detroit sat tied for 19th, scoring 4.21 per game. Skubal has yielded just five earned runs total over his last five starts and has given up a run or less in six of his last eight outings. Valdez has allowed just five runs in his last five starts and a run or less in six of his last eight. Detroit does not hit lefthanders all that well and I am looking for a low scoring opening game.
