The Houston Astros will look to win their four-game series against the Detroit Tigers when they send Hunter Brown to the hill this afternoon.
Brown has been excellent when healthy this season, and my Astros vs. Tigers predictions and MLB picks believe he’ll be the difference for the Astros today.
Who will win Astros vs Tigers today: Astros moneyline (-120)
Hunter Brown has only made four starts this season due to a shoulder injury, but the Houston Astros starter has been dealing when healthy.
The right-hander hasn’t allowed more than one earned run in any of his appearances, thanks to his almost unhittable fastball. Batters are hitting .095 against Brown’s four-seamer, with a .139 xSLG, and that’s a pitch the Detroit Tigers haven’t had success against.
Detroit has the fourth-worst average in the majors against a right-handed four-seamer (.225), and an already weak offense is missing key pieces like Javier Baez and Gleyber Torres.
Give me the Astros up to -130.
COVERS INTEL: Hunter Brown performs better in June than any other month throughout his career, holding a 1.90 ERA and .176 opposing batting average.
Astros vs Tigers Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (-120)
Jack Flaherty has largely been able to avoid blowup starts of late, and even if he does get in trouble, he’ll be able to fall back on a decent Tigers bullpen (3.87 ERA; 12th).
Neither team is hitting the ball particularly well this week, with the Astros batting .236 with a .668 OPS, and the Tigers hitting .240/.712.
Another strong start from Brown keeps this game Under 8.5 runs. Play it to -130.
