Detroit at Oakland

A big park here in Oakland, perfect for pitchers and brutal on bats! This is the seventh straight road game for the Tigers, who have looked road weary on offense scoring, 1 and 4 runs the last two games. At least they have ace Justin Verlander on the hill, with a 3-1 record and a 2.63 ERA, striking out 48 in 51 innings while allowing only 11 walks and 37 hits. The UNDER is 5-2 in Verlander's last seven starts and 13-4-2 UNDER the total in his last 19 starts as a road favorite of -151 to -200. He will have no problem mowing down an Oakland offense that is terrible, No. 20 in runs scored, No. 28 in on-base percentage, No. 27 in slugging with a team batting average of .221 (30th). The UNDER is 20-7-2 in the Athletics’ last 29 games against a right-handed starter and 17-6 UNDER the total following a win. They have their top pitching prospect going in Jarrod Parker (1.80 ERA), whom the Tigers have never faced. The UNDER is 6-1 in Verlander's last seven starts against the Athletics, including 4-1 UNDER the total in his last five starts in this park. Play the UNDER.
