The Detroit Tigers have the best record in days games in the majors at 16-4. Tigers starter Kyle Lobstein has the best record of any American League pitcher in day games at 3-0 with a 2.75 ERA.
The Tigers have won three in a row and catch the overachieving Astros on the downswing. The Astros are an all-or-nothing type of team. They realy heavily on the home run. However, Lobstein is a ground-ball pitcher and Comerica Park is a spacious pitcher's park.
Detroit gets to face young Lance McCullers, making just his second big league start. McCullers didn't pitch at all in Triple A and had just four starts in Class AA. He lasted less than five innings in his debut this past Monday in a 2-1 loss to Oakland.
