The Oakland Athletics and Detroit Tigers face off on Thursday in an MLB showdown at Comerica Park. The Athetlics have won three of the four games so far during this series. On Wednesday, the A’s offense was strong scoring nine runs and that was enough to secure the victory.

Coming into this season many believed that the A’s would be the worst team in the MLB, and although they haven’t had a good start to the season they still look like a team that can win many series this summer. Over the last two games the A’s have only given up one run total, and they are going to need some good pitching in this game. Sean Murphy has been the top offensive player hitting four home runs and driving in 17 RBIs.

On the other side of this matchup is the Detroit Tigers who sit with a 9-22 record and all season the offense has been an issue for this team. The Tigers are averaging only 2.74 runs per game which is 30th in the league. The pitching actually hasn’t been all that bad season, but they haven’t been good enough with how bad the offense has been.
