ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO/WQRF) — A pivotal weekend for the IceHogs could not have gone more wrong.

Saturday night at BMO Center they lost 7-5 to the Griffins. In Saturday's game, they watched the Griffins jump out to a 3-1 lead after two periods. The third period was a flurry of goals as both teams put the puck in the net four times each. Drew Commesso was in goal for the IceHogs. He surrendered six of the Griffins' goals. On the bright side for the IceHogs, Zac Sanford had a hat trick. Jalen Luypen and Gavin Hayes scored the other two IceHogs' goals. The IceHogs' magic number for clinching a playoff spot remains at five as they try to hold off the sixth -place Iowa Wild who are eight standing points behind the IceHogs. The IceHogs are eight points behind the fourth-place Chicago Wolves and ten points behind now third-place Grand Rapids.This coming week, the IceHogs have a pair of home games Friday night and Saturday night, both against the Tucson Roadrunners.

Astros at Tigers prediction: Odds, expert picks, starting pitchers, betting trends, and stats for August 18

Its Monday, August 18 and the Astros (69-55) are in Detroit to open a series against the Tigers (73-53) in a matchup of division leaders. Spencer Arrighetti is slated to take the mound for Houston against Jack Flaherty for Detroit. After taking two of three against the Red Sox earlier in the week, the Astros lost two of three over the weekend at home to Baltimore. They were outscored 23-5 over the course of the three games. The Astros lost 12-0 yesterday. Cristian Javier allowed one run in three innings in his second start since returning from the disabled list. He took the loss but the floodgates opened when Shawn Dubin came on in 'relief' of Javier. The righthander allowed four runs in the fourth and the game spiraled out of control for Houston from there to the point where Chas McCormick pitched the ninth (ironically, the outfielder pitched a 1-2-3 ninth). Despite the woes of the weekend, Houston remains in first in the American League West by 1.5 games over Seattle. The Tigers welcome Houston to Motown after taking three of four from the Twins in Minneapolis. After sputtering to open the month, Detroit is 7-3 in their last ten and 8.5 games ahead of Cleveland in the Central Division. Yesterday the Tigers gave up eight runs in the first four innings and were blasted by the Twins 8-1. Lets dive into the series opener and find a sweat or two.

Brewers at Reds prediction: Odds, expert picks, starting pitchers, betting trends, and stats for August 15

Its Friday, August 15 and the Brewers (76-44) are in Cincinnati to take on the Reds (64-58). Winners of twelve in a row, the Brewers have not yet announced their starting pitcher for tonight's game. Nick Martinez gets the ball for Cincinnati. There is no hotter team in baseball than the Brew Crew. Milwaukee is an incredible 45-16 since June 1. Let me do the math for you. That means they are winning 73.8% of the time they step between the lines. The Reds are a distant third in the National League's Central Division sitting 13 games behind the Brewers.
