This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the OVER Tigers/Astros.

Houston has won five in a row. It's seen the total go UNDER In six of its last seven, including in both games to open up this series.

I think the Astros finally plate some runs here though in this favorable matchup on Saturday afternoon.

The Tigers have lost three of their last four. They've now seen the total go UNDER in three straight (note though that Detroit has seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last 11 after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row.)

Eduardo Rodriguez (0-2, 5.33 ERA), gets the call for Detroit, while Houston counters with Framber Valdez (1-2, 3.42.)

Other than a few outliers, scoring appears to be down around the league this year. We're seeing some solid pitching across the board, however the situation now sees the value swing the other way here as far as the total is concerned.

Look for these offenses to finally take center stage.

The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
