MLB Betting Trends

Oakland

The Athletics have won six straight Game 4’s in a series and 43 of their last 55 against AL Central opponents.

Detroit

The Tigers have lost seven straight home games against a right-handed starter and 45 of their last 58 against AL West opponents.

Prediction:

I don’t know that I really need to break this game down. Oakland has won 15 straight against Detroit. That pretty much sums things up. But, if you need some extra motivation, consider that Fiers is a former Tiger that will be eager to pitch well against them and he’s dropped his ERA by nearly three over the last month. Soto has been a dumpster fire, giving up nine runs over six innings for the season. Oakland should definitely take this game and I would feel pretty good taking them on the run line as well.

MLB Prediction: Oakland Athletics -1.5 (-120)
