The wheels have come off for the Detroit Tigers who not too long ago were cruising along on the mound and at the plate. Detroit lost in walk-off fashion last night, moving them to an ugly 2-8 in their last 10 games. During that 10-game stretch, they have produced 2 runs or fewer in half of them, while allowing 5 runs or more in eight of them. Oakland continues to march on with the best rotation in baseball, but with few notable names. Rick Porcello has seven wins, but just a 3.88 ERA, and his track record vs. Oakland is very poor as he owns an 0-4 record and 5.46 ERA against them. Jesse Chavez is just another Oakland starter getting it done with a 4-2 record and 2.61 ERA on the season. The A's keep on keepin' on as home chalk at 77-36 in their last 113, and are 8-2 in Chavez's last 10 starts overall. The Tigers are just 2-5 in Porcello's last seven starts vs. the A's, and have lost all momentum right now. Take Oakland.
