Kyle Murray's Athletics vs Tigers Best Bet: Bats Will Bounce Back

These teams scored just three combines runs in yesterday's game, but did put up 15 runs in the opening game of the series.

The Tigers are set to start 34-year-old Dietrich Enns, who hasn't pitched in the MLB since 2021 and has been bouncing around Asia playing professionally. He has been pitching well in the minors, but I don't think that will translate to a ton of success. He will also be backed up a Tigers bullpen that has the ninth-worst ERA over the past 30 days, so I am expecting some runs for the A's.

On the other side, the Tigers are coming off of a big goose egg against a lefty, but that was an outlier, as the Tigers have the most total runs against left-handed pitchers this season (129).

Pick: Over 8.5 (-120)
