Detroit enters the playoffs having won 10 of their last 13 games. Detroit is starting Tarik Skubal in this game who has been everything the Tigers could ask for this season. Skubal is 4-0 with a 1.90 ERA in his last 7 starts and 9-1 with a 2.46 ERA in his last 15 starts.

Houston enters the playoffs 3-3 over their last 6 games. Houston is starting Framber Valdez in this game who is 3-2 in his last 7 starts with a 1.58 ERA and is 9-2 with a 2.26 ERA in his last 15 starts.

Both starting pitchers have played very well throughout the season. Detroit is one of the hottest teams coming into the playoffs and is too big of a dog in this game with their ace on the mound.
