Oakland at Detroit

The Tigers have been getting it done at home, and with a surging Justin Verlander on the hill, they will be tough to take down in this one. Verlander has been nearly flawless in his last three home starts, working 20.1 innings, allowing just a single earned run, working out to a microscopic 0.44 ERA on the hill in Tigerland. The A's are sporting a not-so cozy 25-54 mark on the road in their last 79 vs. a winning team. Overall, they are just 14-38 in their last 52 vs. a starter with a WHIP of 1.15 or less. The Tigers are 20-8 in Verlander's last 28 starts, and 41-20 in his last 61 as a home favorite, which doesn’t suggest the upset in this one. Detroit gets the call.
