Oakland at Detroit

Our only favorite pick of the day is Detroit at home. How do we get the best team in the league at home for this low a price? They are 32-16 at home for a reason. Oakland has been hitting well of late but they don't deserve this much respect. Joe Blanton has been average for them (9-8, 4.73 ERA and 4-4, 5.43 ERA on road). Zach Miner has been better for Detroit (6-2, 3.30 ERA). Both teams have very good bullpens so that's about a wash. Detroit is 6-2 over their past eight games while Oakland is 5-3. The Tigers are 49-16 in this range (favorite of up to -150) and thehy are 19-5 as a favorite of -125 to -175. Small price to pay on a great teams, playing excellent ball at home.
