Detroit is hot this season winning six of their last eight games. Flaherty is on the mound for Detroit and he has pitched well so far and is 5-1 straight up in day games. Expect him to control this game as he is in much better form than Boyle, who gave up 8 runs and 4 walks in his last game, all in 2.2 innings of work. Oakland went on to lose that game 9-0. Oakland should be avoided right now until they show some kind of improvement. Their offense is non existent. Take the home team who will win this by several runs.

Best bet: take the runline with Detroit.
