Tigers vs Athletics Pick, Betting Analysis
Jack Perkins grades out as an above-average matchup for left-handed power. The ballpark is a massive upgrade and one of the best in the league for power. The weather is great for hitting, with temperatures in the high 90s and the wind blowing out at 5 mph. I have the true odds on Kevin McGonigle at under +400.
Pick: Kevin McGonigle 1+ Home Runs (+500, betMGM)
