Oakland at Detroit

Detroit wasted another good pitching effort and lost 1-0 in 10 innings on Tuesday. Eduardo Rodriguez will make his return from the injured list today, making his first start since May 28. Rodriguez pitched well the first two months of the season and he has a 2.13 ERA and 0.98 WHIP overall and a 1.65 ERA and .184 opponent batting average at home. Ken Waldichuk is 1-5 with a gaudy 6.78 ERA and 1.91 WHIP for Oakland, likely lasting 2-3 innings in a bullpen game for the Athletics. Oakland has stayed UNDER five of its past seven versus left-handed starters and the UNDER is 5-2-1 the past eight meetings. The Athletics are 25-51 their past 76 games versus opponents with losing records and they average only 3.6 runs per nine innings versus southpaws and 3.5 runs per game overall. Detroit averages 3.9 runs overall. Take the Tigers (Max Play), and bet this game to stay UNDER (Max Play).
