The A’s are 17-21 on the road and recently swept the Royals in their last series, but have struggled lately, going 2-4 in the past six games. Their offense has struggled, as the Under has hit in three straight and six of their last nine games.
In their last game, they lost 3-0 to the Guardians, with Brent Rooker and Tyler Soderstrom both collecting two singles each.
The Tigers aim to bounce back after losing a series to the Rays. They lost two games but secured a 9-3 win in the finale, thanks to some strong pitching from Casey Mize.
Wenceel Perez shone with a home run and three RBIs, while Parker Meadows also contributed with a homer and three RBIs.

Luis Severino(2-7, 4.42 ERA) makes his 17th start with a 1.34 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9, and 6.2 K/9 in 95 2/3 innings.
Luis Severino’s last start saw him pitch five innings, allowing two earned runs on nine hits, with one walk and five strikeouts in an 11-4 loss to the Astros. This season, he is 2-0 on the road with a 0.93 ERA over 38 and two-thirds innings across six starts.
He last faced the Tigers on August 28, 2023, earning a win with seven scoreless innings and eight strikeouts. His career record against the Tigers is 5-1, with a 1.81 ERA in 49 and two-thirds innings.
Tarik Skubal, who has an 8-2 record and a 2.06 ERA, is making his 16th start with a 0.85 WHIP and an impressive strikeout rate of 11.0 K/9 in 96 innings. In his last outing, he went five and two-thirds innings, allowing two earned runs in a 9-2 win over the Pirates.

The A’s +2.5 runs (-140) present a strong value at this price, even when facing the formidable left-hander Skubal.
In Skubal’s last five home starts as a favorite, the Tigers have only managed a 2-3 record on the run line, and they are 3-5 on the run line over his last eight outings since May 9.
