Our Athletics vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
The Tigers are the clear favorite in this game; however, the over looks to be the best betting option. This goes back to how inconsistent both starters have been this season, especially as it pertains to their home/away splits.
Valdez has made 11 road starts this season, in which he has allowed 34 runs (32 earned) over 58.1 innings. Perkins, on the other hand, has made 15 home appearances (5 starts), where he has allowed 30 earned runs over 39.2 innings.
It is true that neither offense has been consistent this season, but with starters that have been inconsistent for most of the season, our Athletics vs Detroit Tigers prediction is: Over 10.5 Total Runs.
