The Detroit Tigers will take on the Athletics in the second game of a three-game series today at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, CA. Fans can catch the action on the MLB Network at the game’s scheduled start time, 10:05 p.m. EST. Detroit came into the series fresh off a loss to the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, 10-8. Tarik Skubal pitched a solid game (6 2/3 innings, seven hits, one earned run, 12 strikeouts) for the Tigers and had a 3-1 lead when he left the game. But the bullpen gave up five runs in the bottom of the seventh to give the A’s the lead for good.
Charlie Morton will get the start for the Tigers. Morton has gone 9-10 this season in 27 appearances (21 starts) with a 5.09 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, and .263 OBA. He has gone 4-6 on the road in 12 appearances (10 starts) with a 5.17 ERA and .262 OBA. Osvaldo Bido is scheduled to start for the A’s. Bido is 2-4 in 19 appearances (nine starts) with a 5.37 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, and .304 OBA. He has yet to record a win at home (0-3, ten appearances/ four starts) while posting a 5.29 ERA and .329 OBA.

Our Detroit Tigers vs Athletics Prediction
Yes, the A’s recorded a convincing upset yesterday, but the Tigers are by far the better team. I don’t trust Morton as far as I can throw him, but the Tigers' pen has been throwing well of late and should be able to pick up the slack if they need to pull Morton early. I wouldn’t be shocked if Bido gets pulled early as well, but I don’t have as much confidence in the A’s pen. They’ve done a great job in recent games, but have also been getting a lot of work. Look for the Tigers to beat up on Bido, take an early lead, and go on to win this game.
