Springs has not been better on the road this season as well, suggesting the Tigers’ offense will be able to take advantage.

Our Detroit Tigers vs Athletics Prediction
The Tigers are the clear favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option. Looking more closely at the home/away splits between the two starting pitchers, we see that Springs has made seven starts on the road this season, in which he has allowed 19 earned runs over 39.0 innings. Melton, on the other hand, has made just three home starts this season and has allowed six earned runs over 17.0 innings.
While Melton has not been lights out at home this season, Springs’ clear struggles on the road will mean that our Detroit Tigers vs Athletics prediction is: Detroit Tigers ML.
