The read
Detroit's Tarik Skubal has been a rock this season, boasting an ERA of 2.42 (2.42) and a WHIP of 0.87 (0.87). He's a bulldog on the mound, and his strikeout ability (190 SO) will pose a significant challenge to Houston's lineup, which has a few too many swing-and-miss guys for my liking.
Houston's Hunter Brown, while solid, doesn't quite match up, and Detroit's top hitters have been more productive overall. My gut tells me Detroit's got the edge here, and the stats back it up.
So, you ready to ride with the Tigers or you gonna play it safe?
