Oakland at Detroit

Oakland comes off a 1-0 loss to Boston and had yesterday off. Four games ago, they knocked off Cleveland, 4-3, as an underdog. Starter J.P. Sears is off a 2023 campaign where he held batters to a .249 average. The Athletics have won six of the last seven versus Detroit. Detroit plays its home opener after playing six straight on the road. They come off a double-header yesterday, a 2-1 loss to the Mets and a 6-3 win in New York, making this an excellent situational spot for the rested big dog. Play Oakland.
