(915) Detroit Tigers at (916) Houston Astros
(4%) HOUSTON. Down a game, I expect the best of the Astros in Game 2. The Tigers had Skubal on the mound yesterday but there's a huge drop-off after him. Holton is scheduled to start but he's not going to be around long. On the other hand, Brown is off b2b gems and he's got a 2.11 ERA his past seven starts and a 2.26 ERA in 12 starts since the All Star Break. He's also got a 1.69 ERA in seven career playoff appearances. The Astros are battle-tested playoff veterans. They'll bounce back and even up the series. *Reduce to 3% if higher than -165
