Now that the opening series of the 2023 season is in the rearview mirror the Detroit Tigers now travel across the Gulf of Mexico from Tampa Bay to Houston to take on the defending World Series champion Astros for a three-game midweek set. The weekend sweep at the hands of the Rays was a gut punch for the team and the fanbase alike, and unfortunately, it does not get any easier soon.
While the Tigers are now three games deep into the nascent campaign, their upcoming opponents have already played four, splitting the series with the visiting Chicago White Sox at home.
