Two teams moving in opposite directions meet at Comerica Park on Thursday, as the Tigers and Athletics meet in the final game of a series that has been dominated by Detroit. 

The opening two games of the series have been highlighted by superb displays on the mound from Detroit stars Troy Melton and Tarik Skubal, which have restricted the A's to a total of just three runs. 

On offence, the Tigers have not quite hit their best form, but a two run homer from Colt Keith in game one, plus home runs from Jake Rogers and Spencer Torkelson in game two, have been enough to get the job done.

Those victories mean that the Tigers have now won seven of their last eight games, whilst the Athletics have now won just one of their last ten fixtures.

Our Detroit Tigers vs Athletics Prediction

These are worrying times for Oakland, and we cannot see their poor form ending any time soon. 

On the other hand, Detorit are playing their best ball of the season and will be a tough out for any postseason contenders in the remaining weeks of the regular season. 

Despite the rotation favoring the Athletics in this one, we are going with the form book and taking the Tigers to comfortably complete a clean sweep. 

Our prediction for Detroit Tigers vs Oakland Athletics is: Tigers (-1) to win. 

Prediction:

 

Tigers (-1) to win
