Athletics Look for Series Win
The Athletics have won the last two games and the pitching has been really good in the last couple of games. The A’s haven’t won many series so a win here would go a long way for this team’s confidence. The A’s are averaging 3.64 runs while their pitching is giving up 5.74 runs per game. The offense is ranked 30th in the league while the pitching is ranked 29th. On the mound for the A’s is JP Sears who sits with a 5-12 record and an ERA of 4.12.
Shane’s Free Pick
The A’s are going to pick up a series win here. Rodriguez in his last start gave up five runs and he’s going to really struggle again here. The Tigers bats have also really struggled heading into this game and they will struggle to get anything going against Spears here. The Tigers will finish with only one or two runs total here and the Athletics are going to get the job done. Back the A’s on the money line.
