#939/940 ASA PLAY ON Under 6.5 Runs – Detroit Tigers at Houston Astros, Tuesday at 2:32 PM ET - The Astros Framber Valdez squaring off against the Tigers Tarik Skubal sets this one up for a classic pitchers duel. Valdez is 9-2 with a 2.53 ERA at home this season! Also, Valdez compiled a 1.65 ERA over the final two months of the regular season and allowed only 33 hits in 60 innings! As for the Tigers Skubal, he went 18-4 on the season including 8-1 with a 2.37 ERA after the All-Star break! Also, Skubal went undefeated with a 1.52 ERA in his 4 starts in the month of September. Both hurlers come into this one in top form and each of them are capable of throwing an absolute gem here. These two bullpens both rank in the top 4 in the American League this season. The Tigers hit just .222 their final 6 games of the season. The Astros, due to scheduling plus one rainout too, have played only 2 games the last 5 days. This will not help their timing at the plate either and in particular this is true when facing a tough southpaw like Skubal! This is playoff baseball now and per all of the above this one will, in all likelihood, be a tight low-scoring battle! Our computer math model projecting 4 to 5 runs here and even if it gets to 6 that is still a winning ticket for us. We are going with the Under in this one.
