Detroit walked off Houston in the bottom of the 10th, riding a surge that has the AL’s best record on lockdown. Four shutouts in seven games underscore the Tigers’ pitching and depth, while the offense leans on a young core to carry the run production. Gleyber Torres produced the only RBI via a walk, setting the stage for Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson to celebrate with a humorous on-air bucket moment that highlighted the team’s upbeat chemistry.

Greene and Torkelson form the heartbeat of Detroit’s rebound, with Torres’ veteran plate discipline providing a steady, high-OBP floor that keeps the lineup primed. Fantasy managers should note the Tigers’ hot stretch as a potential catalyst for continued multi-category production from Detroit’s top three—Greene, Torkelson, and Torres—in the weeks ahead.

Tuesday’s MLB slate features 16 games, with a Cubs-Brewers doubleheader looming after Monday’s rainout. The prop spotlight centers on power against suspect arms: Judge, Lindor and Bregman headline the board with favorable odds (+205, +390, +400 respectively). Riley Greene also enters the mix after Monday’s homer, giving fantasy managers a hot streak target. The narrative around each pick hinges on matchup specifics: Judge vs Baz, Lindor vs Irvin, and Bregman vs Sugano, plus the surrounding context of recent form and handedness splits. A strong reminder that odds shift and bankroll discipline remain essential as the night progresses.

Judge’s post-IL plate discipline leans into a right-handed power profile, and Baz has coughed up a number of homers this season. Lindor has heated up, delivering multi-HR power in recent games and a proven track record against Irvin, who has shown home-run propensity. Bregman sits in a favorable two-week sample against righties, with a history of success against southpaws and a lineup-friendly environment in AL East play. DraftKings odds are refreshed periodically, so timely placement matters, especially with 16 games and potential lineup changes.

Detroit surged to a 10-0 rout of Houston in Comerica Park, turning the series opener into a showcase for Tigers offense and bullpen efficiency. Colt Keith anchored the barrage with multi-hit production while Gleyber Torres and Spencer Torkelson joined the power parade, and Riley Greene added run-scoring menace. Detroit’s barrage came early and often, blowing open a lopsided contest that put the Astros on the back foot from the first inning and kept them quiet at the plate most of the night.

Houston’s misfiring offense struggled to solve Detroit starter Jack Flaherty, who worked seven innings on 90 pitches and limited the Astros to three hits with minimal traffic in scoring position. Jeremy Peña, Jose Altuve, and Chas McCormick provided moments but could not sustain momentum. Chas McCormick even logged an inning on the mound, a telling sign of Houston’s bullpen workload. Fantasy managers watching these clubs should note Detroit’s up-and-coming talent and Houston’s ongoing offensive drought, especially when the Tigers face volatile Houston relievers in upcoming outings.

For fantasy bets, Detroit’s depth and early production from Keith, Torres, Torkelson, and Greene offer upside in favorable matchups. Houston remains a thorny hold with lineup inconsistency but has stars who can heat up quickly; keep Peña and Altuve on the radar for bounce-back purchases, particularly in daily formats that reward pace and lineup flexibility. This game underscored Detroit’s offensive upside and Houston’s red-flag risk in slumping spells.

Houston and Detroit sit atop their divisions as Monday’s showdown at Comerica Park looms, with Spencer Arrighetti returning to the mound for the Astros after a rocky stretch that has him at 6.38 ERA this season. Detroit counters with Jack Flaherty, who has been-priced as a standout despite a 4.76 ERA and a 7-17 ledger in his starts this year. The Tigers are slight favorites at home, carrying a strong 39-24 mark at Comerica this season.

Riley Greene draws heavy attention in the props market, listed to homer at +425, a nod to his matchup against Arrighetti and his power surge versus right-handers (.289 this year, 26 HR vs RH). The total line sits at 8.5, nudging toward the over in a potentially high-scoring series opener given Detroit’s offense and Arrighetti’s command issues (11 walks in four starts) paired with Flaherty’s recent struggles (12 runs allowed in August across three starts).

In short, this one is shaping as a back-and-forth shootout: fade the Tigers if Flaherty isn’t on, but lean into the Over if Arrighetti can’t locate his control and Detroit gets early traction. Either way, Greene’s power upside and the Tigers’ home-ice edge make this a prime spot for fantasy and betting angles.

Three home-run props stand out on Monday’s MLB slate: Riley Greene, Shohei Ohtani, and Kyle Manzardo. Greene hits the Houston Astros’ Spencer Arrighetti, a pitcher with a 6.38 ERA this year, amid Greene’s power against right-handed pitching. Ohtani takes on Kyle Freeland of Colorado, who has labored at 5.18 and has given up 16 homers in 22 starts; Ohtani has crushed Freeland in limited history and thrives vs lefties this season. Manzardo faces Zac Gallen of Arizona, who’s allowed a lot of homers this year, while Manzardo has been heating up with 21 HR and strong splits against right-handers. The trio offers plus odds with legitimate paths to a homer, anchored by favorable opponent histories and park factors. For bettors, tonight’s value rests with Greene’s +425 and Ohtani’s +160, with Manzardo at roughly +380 offering a solid ceiling from a late-season Guardians surge.

These picks hinge on matchup leverage and hot-streak momentum. Greene’s historical success against Arrighetti gives him the standout “why not” prop, while Ohtani’s recent diligence against left-handed arms and Freeland’s struggles create a compelling upside scenario. Manzardo’s swing and Gallen’s homer-friendly tendencies set the stage for a late-season clubhouse spark. Taken together, the night looks ripe for a few long-shot dingers and a potential early-week payday.
