Game Preview
The Houston Astros kick off a three-game series today where they will face the Detroit Tigers in the Motor City. The Astros have the best record in the American League while the Tigers have the second-worst record in the American League. Houston has won all 4 games against the Tigers this season.
There haven’t been many good weekends for the Detroit Tigers this season, but last weekend was one of them. They won the series against the Royals, a team that is only slightly better than them in the standings, but still, they will take the wins where they can get them. Otherwise, it has been a disappointing season for the Tigers, as hopes were high that they might compete in the AL Central this season. That didn’t happen, but maybe next year.
On the other side, the Astros come into this series with the best record in the American League and they have a sizable edge over the Yankees, so they should be able to hold on to the No. 1 seed in the playoffs.
