DETROIT TIGERS VS OAKLAND A’s PREDICTION

The A’s have been on a tear winning 7 straight games averaging just under 6 runs per game. The Tigers have been on an offensive downslide against Oakland, scoring only 4 runs in 3 games including 2 shutouts. The Tigers have Boyd on the mound who has been throwing lights out so far this season but that has been against much weaker opponents who were not playing as well as the A’s. The A’s have been doing well against left-handed pitching at a .256 team batting average. Take the hot team to continue winning especially against the Tigers who will regress after a decent start. 

The Bookie:          A’s -135  / Under 8.5 -110 (Listed Pitchers)
