MLB Betting Trends
Oakland
Oakland has won 10 of its last 13 road games against a right-handed starter and 38 of its last 53 against AL Central opponents.
Detroit
The Tigers have won Fiers’ last six home starts, but they have lost 40 of their last 57 against a winning team.
Prediction:
Bassitt has been pretty good on the mound and not gotten good results. Fiers has not had particularly great numbers, but gotten good results for his team. Detroit had a 6-0 lead in last night’s game before letting things get out of reach. I think the Tigers can snap out of this losing streak tonight. Fiers has been able to lead them to wins while the Oakland hitting hasn’t been able to help Bassitt.
The Pick: Detroit Tigers +125
