Tonight, the Detroit Tigers were the biggest underdog in Major League Baseball since 2005, per ESPN. In fact, per Anthony Fenech, the Astros closed as -600 favorites against Detroit. They haven’t lost in Houston in nearly one month (their last loss at Minute Maid Park coming on July 23), they had Justin Verlander on the mound, and the Tigers are, well the Tigers.
Tigers win, 2-1.
Yeah. That’s baseball, baby.
A lot of weird stuff happened tonight, so bear with me just rattling off a bunch of random facts for a moment.
