Tigers @ Astros

Houston Astros career statistics vs. Tarik Skubal are .247.  In 73 at bats they have 8 RBIs and 3 home runs off of him.

The Tigers were 10 games out of the last AL wild-card spot on Aug. 10 before going 31-13 the rest of the way to punch their ticket to the playoffs for the first time since 2014.

Now, they’ll face a playoff-tested Houston team that's in the postseason for an eighth straight year. Detroit outfielder Riley Greene believes the Tigers' path to this point will help them this week.

“I feel like we’ve been playing playoff baseball since August,” he said. “We’re young and all we really want to do is win and we’re doing whatever we can to win.”

Detroit Tigers career statistics vs. Framber Valdez are .262 with 4 RBIs and zero home runs in 65 at bats.
