Detroit at Oakland

The Detroit Tigers took care of business at home and have taken a commanding lead in their series vs. Oakland at 2-0. The A's are no stranger to the underdog role, as they have played from that angle all season. They have gotten good work out of Brett Anderson who is 4-2 on the season with a nifty 2.57 ERA. Anibel Sanchez pitched poorly for most of the season, has worked out his problems and has had just one start in his last eight trips to the mound where he has allowed more than 3 runs. The Tigers’ bats have been quieted on the road when they face a winning team, as they have been able to eclipse the total just seven times in their last 28 in this situation. The pitching-reliant A's are 36-17-1 to the UNDER in their last 54 at home vs. a righthander. Anderson has commanded the UNDER in his last 14 starts vs. the AL Central at 11-2-1. These clubs are also 13-6-1 to the UNDER in their last 20 meetings in Oakland. Play on the UNDER.
