PRO Report’s insights are flashing with a sweet Detroit Tigers vs. Boston Red Sox pick, framed around Tanner Houck – he’s PRO Projections top pick in the AL clash.
First pitch for Red Sox vs. Tigers is a 6:40 p.m. ET. Houck and Boston are slightly favored in a meeting of two teams above .500 with September right around the corner.
Reviewing the odds, the moneyline has the Red Sox at -120 and the Tigers at -100. The total is set at 9 runs with the over at -102 and the under at -118, indicating a fairly balanced outlook for scoring.
One angle worth exploring is Houck’s strikeout line of 4.5. It’s way off the numbers our expert MLB data rolled out Friday.

Tigers vs Red Sox Pick: Tanner Houck Leads Friday’s Top MLB Strikeout Props
While the game’s moneyline and total markets hold factors to weigh, Houck’s strikeout potential stands out – it’s a full run off the total we projected.
PRO Projections signal a solid bet on Houck to fly over 4.5 strikeouts, particularly against a Tigers lineup that has struggled with strikeouts this season, ranking 21st in baseball.
When PRO’s figures differ from market odds, it often indicates a solid edge. That’s the case here, as PRO tabs Houck for about 5.9 strikeouts versus a normal Tigers lineup. Stacking up the best odds of 4.5 -130 (BetMGM), it’s a 13.7% edge.
Houck’s over is our third-best prop tonight and a B+ grade from our proprietary data.
