The Oakland Athletics (10-18, minus-3.04 betting units) might be dead ducks as they wait for their seemingly inevitable move to Las Vegas – but at least they’re not the Detroit Tigers (8-19, minus-6.30 units). Despite dropping nine straight games, the A’s have performed 15 runs better than Detroit according to differential.
Oakland also have the better starting pitcher in this matchup – in theory. Frankie Montas (3.29 FIP) is once again mowing down batters, already racking up four quality starts in six appearances; his opposite number, Tarik Skubal (2.21 FIP), has seen a sharp increase in productivity that may be just a case of small sample size. Let’s see if he regresses Tuesday.
