Athletics vs. Detroit Tigers Prediction

I’m on the under in this one. I get the case to be made for either side here as Severino’s been at his best by a mile on the road with a sub-1.00 ERA away from home, and Tarik Skubal is still the reigning Cy Young champion in the AL and has carried over that form in for a lot of this season. I think we have a low-scoring battle brewing here. Give me the under.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Under 7.5
