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.

Five Games Kings Fans Should Be Most Excited About in the 2025-26 Season
The NHL officially announced the Los Angeles Kings' official schedule for the 2025-26 season about a month ago, and now the season tickets are also available to purchase. We already know the Kings will be playing the Colorado Avalanche on Opening Night, and in their first 11 games of the season, eight will be on the road. But, now that all the dates and promotional games were also announced a few weeks ago, here's a look at five games Kings fans should be most excited about for in the 2025-26 season. Kings vs. Colorado Avalanche, October 7 Opening Night is like no other. The Kings will host their 2025-26 home opener against one of the top teams in the NHL, the Colorado Avalanche. The opening faceoff will be a playoff-like atmosphere, featuring special pregame ceremonies and fan giveaways. Guests Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar make this an instant early-season test for L.A. Kings vs. Vegas Golden Knights, January 14 Two of the L.A.'s beloved teams clash — at least in a metaphoric way — on Dodgers Night as the Kings host the Vegas Golden Knights. The fans have in store for unusual Dodgers-themed Kings gear, giveaways, and playoff-like passion on the ice. The Kings and the Knights have developed one of the most bitter rivalries in the Pacific Division, and adding an extra special theme night has made this game all the more special. Kings vs. Edmonton Oilers, April 11 Connor McDavid in town is must-see hockey. The Oilers have been the Kings' playoff roadblocks in the last four seasons, and this is the last time they will meet in the regular season, which could have mammoth postseason ramifications. It's also a promotional game and theme night, with Fan & Season Ticket Member Appreciation Night, presented by True Classic. Puck drop is set for 1:00 PM, and the first 10,000 fans through the doors will receive a commemorative felt pennant. Kings vs. Philadelphia Flyers, March 19 Celebrate hockey, community, and culture as the Kings host Armenian Heritage Night at Arena. The unique night will feature exclusive in-arena programming in celebration of Armenian culture, plus a ticket package including a hockey jersey for a Philadelphia Flyers vs. Kings game that features an Armenian Heritage Kings jersey. With the 7:30 PM faceoff, the game is set to be both meaningful and memorable to fans. Kings vs. Florida Panthers, November 6 The Kings will host the Panthers, who are the two-time defending champs, winning the last two Stanley Cups against the Oilers. It will also be a theme night where both teams will be honoring and celebrating heroes in our community. This special evening will feature tributes throughout the game as the Kings face the Florida Panthers, one of the league's toughest teams. Puck drops at 7:30 PM, making it a perfect midweek night to support a great cause and enjoy top-tier hockey.
