Detroit Tigers DFS SPIN
Riley Greene homered and drove in three runs on Friday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Tigers to victory over the Guardians. Greene got the Tigers on the board with a 386-foot solo shot off of Zach Plesac in the third inning. He also added a go-ahead two-run double in the fourth to make it a 5-3 ballgame. The rookie center fielder finished the night 2-for-5 and is now hitting .252/.357/.369 with two homers, 11 RBI and one stolen base through his first 26 games.
Oakland A’s DFS SPIN
Zach Logue will be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday to start the first game of the A’s doubleheader against the Tigers. It’s unclear if he’ll simply be the 27th man for the twin bill, or if he’ll actually stick around for a bit. The 26-year-old left-hander has compiled a 5.16 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 23/11 K/BB ratio across 29 2/3 innings in seven appearances (six starts) with the Athletics this season.
Tigers vs. A’s MLB BETTING PREDICTION
If you want to waste your money backing one of these teams, then be my guest. I’ll be taking the under, which is 12-3 in the A’s last 15 games and 9-2 in their last 11 games after their last game stayed under the total. The under is also 8-0-1 in the Tigers’ last nine games when they’re playing the opener of a series and is 10-0-4 in their last 14 games when they gave up eight or more runs in their previous contest.
