Taking the TIGERS. I would normally be shying away from Detroit here as the line is coming down. But I see where people will want to fade Verlander. But the fact is that he has pitched better his last 2 starts giving up 5 earned in 13 innings while striking out 16. Tigers have won 8 of their last 10 overall and 4 of the last 5 vs the A's. Detroit is 7-2 last 9 when Verlander faces Oakland. 4* Money Maker DETROIT TIGERS
