Athletics vs. Tigers betting picks and predictions
Athletics +1.5 (-140)
Our top pick for this game between the Athletics and the Tigers will target the Athletics on the +1.5 run line. The Athletics enter this game with a record of 41-49 and, as a result, are in fourth place in the American League West division.
The Athletics are coming off a sweep to the Marlins and are also 3-7 over their last 10 games. That being said, J.T. Ginn is scheduled to start Game 1 of this series, who is 7-4 on the season and has an ERA of 3.04. Ginn has particularly pitched well on the road this season, posting an ERA of 2.31 across nine appearances (eight starts) and has allowed just 12 earned runs over 46.2 innings.
As for Detroit, they enter this game with a record of 40-50 and are currently in fourth place in the American League Central division. The Tigers are coming off a series where they won two out of three against the Texas Rangers and are now set to start Tarik Skubal for Game 1 of this series.
Skubal has a record of 4-4 this season and an ERA of 3.15. Despite his solid numbers, Skubal has struggled at home this season, posting an ERA of 4.44 over four starts. In these starts, he has allowed 12 earned runs across 24.1 innings.
While Detroit looks to be in better form, the Athletics appear to have the slight advantage on the mound. Ginn has already started July on a high note, allowing just one earned run over 6.0 in his lone start. Because of this, backing the Athletics on the +1.5 run line will be our best bet for Tuesday.
Shea Langeliers to Hit a Home Run (+400)
Our favorite player prop for this game between the Athletics and the Tigers will look for Shea Langeliers, from the Athletics, to hit a home run. Langeliers is having a solid season, hitting .264 on the season and is tied for the most home runs on the team with 20.
Further, Langeliers has hit eight of his 20 home runs this season against left-handed pitching, which is what he will face in Game 1 of this series with Skubal on the mound. On top of that, Langeliers has also hit 10 of his 20 home runs on the road this season, so even though he is considered day-to-day with a thumb injury, backing Langeliers to hit a home run will be our play.
