Tigers vs. Astros MLB parlay: Should be few runs in Valdez-Brown duel
SportsLine projects Valdez and Hunter Brown to limit scoring, with Houston favored in a 4-0 model forecast.
- On Tuesday, former Astros icon Framber Valdez returned to Houston to start for the Detroit Tigers against his former team. Valdez won 81 regular-season games during eight seasons with the Astros.
- Returning after a Grade 2 right shoulder strain suffered in late March, Hunter Brown rejoined the Astros' rotation. Embattled manager Joe Espada said, "Our rotation needs that boost."
- Houston secured a 4-2 victory on Tuesday, evening the series despite Valdez scattering six hits over six innings. Rookie Raynell Delgado drove in two runs in the eighth inning to seal the win.
- The victory provides momentum for the struggling Astros, who have used 27 pitchers this season. Brown's health could determine whether Houston acts as a seller before the August 3 trade deadline.
- Despite the win, the SportsLine Projection Model gives the Astros only a 21.5% chance at the playoffs. The team sits eight games below.500, facing a difficult postseason path.
