Detroit Tigers vs Oakland Athletics Prediction

Give me the Tigers here. Hurter hasn’t been dominant this season but he has been very good and he was strong again in his last start. The A’s offense has been a problem all season and they are going to really struggle here. The Athletics in this game are going to have issues even getting to the three-run mark here and it will be the Tigers that get the job done on the money line.
