Astros vs. Tigers Best Bets
Monday, September 12, 2022 - 6:40PM ET
PICK: Jose Altuve Over 1.5 Total Bases (+102)
The Houston Astros begin a 3 game series against the Detroit Tigers tonight at Comerica Park, so wth that in mind, you might want to get in on our exclusive BetMGM offer ➡️ here ⬅️ where you get $20 free and a risk-free bet up to $1,000 if you're a new customer.
The Stros are coming off a weekend home series against the Los Angeles Angels in which they won 2 out of 3 games. Houston sits atop the American League West with a record of 90-50 and they hold an 11 game lead over the Seattle Mariners.
The Detroit Tigers, who took 2 of 3 from the Kansas City Royals over the weekend, are last in the American League Central but they have won 3 of their last 4 games. The Tigers will send Eduardo Rodriguez to the mound in the opener. The Left hander is 3-4 on the season with a 4.13 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP.
EROD has given up 8 earned runs over his last 2 starts. I am going to target a Houston hitter to hit his Total Bases prop and that is second baseman Jose Altuve. In his career, Altuve is 6/16 vs Rodgriguez with a Double and 2 Home Runs.
Roriguez throws 3 primarily 3 pitches to right handers and they are Fastball/Cutter/Changeup.
Below is how Altuve has done against those pitches this season:
Fastball - .297 Avg/.362 ISO
Cutter - .219 Avg/.094 ISO
Changeup .274 Avg/.242 ISO
Overall, on the season, Altuve has hit left handed pitching rather well as he has a .333 avg and a .350 ISO against lefties. Jose has hit this mark in 3 of 4 meetings with the Tigers and 7 of his last 10 road games overall.
I'll take Altuve to contribute offensively tonight, in a favorable matchup, so bet Jose Altuve Over 1.5 Total Bases (+102) with BetMGM.
