Astros vs Tigers Picks & Odds (Sep. 14)

Javier has been an important part of Houston's success on the mound this year. He has a 8-9 record and 3.01 ERA in 26 appearances, with 21 starts. Javier has struck out 165 batters in 125.2 innings. Last time out, Javier tossed 5.1 innings vs. Texas and allowed just one earned run on four hits. This will be his first start against Detroit.

Wentz made his big league debut back in May. Wentz is 1-1 with a 4.05 ERA in three starts, striking out 10 and walking three. He's never faced the Astros.

The Houston Astros are 92-50 and are the best team in the AL. They are second in World Series odds behind the Dodgers at +315. The team has won five of their last six games.

Detroit have lost three in a row and are on a cold streak against Houston. The Tigers are one of the worst offensive teams in the Majors. If Wentz can replicate his last start here, they will have a fighting chance of avoiding the sweep.

The Astros are going to beat the Tigers on Wednesday.
