Athletics vs Tigers MLB Betting Preview
The Athletics come into this matchup with a 41-49 record and are 22-21 on the road. Despite their overall record, they’ve been competitive away from home and will look to build on that in Detroit.
One player to watch is Nick Kurtz, who has enjoyed facing the Tigers early in his career. He’s hitting 8-for-20 against Detroit with an impressive 1.178 OPS.
The Tigers, meanwhile, are 40-50 on the season and 23-21 at home. They’ll turn to ace Tarik Skubal, who has been dominant on the mound lately.
Across four starts in June, Skubal recorded 30 strikeouts and just two walks over 22 1/3 innings. If he carries that form into this matchup, the Tigers will have a great chance to defend home field.
Athletics vs Tigers Pick, Betting Analysis
J.T. Ginn has been better at suppressing lefty power this season, but he's historically been a great matchup (and he grades out as one this season).
The weather in Detroit should be good for hitting, and Greene is due for some positive HR regression.
I have the true odds here around +360, making this a great bet.
Pick: Riley Greene Over 0.5 Home Runs
