Final Thoughts
The Athletics have shown a ton of heart over the last few days and in their comeback win over the Tigers last night. But we should see the Tigers salvage a game from this series tonight. Mize has been dependable on the hill and that should continue here. I’ll take the Tigers as a slight moneyline favorite to finish the season series between these teams at three wins apiece.
