With the Tigers the team has not really been that impressive at all on the year. The Tigers are actually one of those teams that could end up finishing in the cellar of the majors. The Tigers have fallen to 47 games under the five hundred mark, but when playing on the road the Tigers are 21 games under the five hundred mark this year.
The Astros have managed to play decent on the year so far and even in the middle of some of the losing issues they have had are still leading the AL West. However, one thing that the Astros have been able to do is play some amazing baseball at home on the year and that will definitely help them out in this game as the Tigers are downright horrible.

The Astros are putting Sanchez on the mound who has struggled at times this year, but has looked decent with the Astros since coming over. The Tigers are putting Turnbull on the mound and he has done really good on the season, but has not had any run support on the year. Look for that to cause an issue again in this game as Turnbull contains the Astros offense, but gets no support to really make a difference. Final Score, Houston Astros win 5-1.
