Saturday MLB Pick

The Detroit Tigers finally beat the Oakland Athletics last night after losing 16 in a row to the A’s but don’t get too excited – the Athletics bounce back tonight at the Coliseum. The once dominant Jordan Zimmermann is expected on the hill for Detroit. Zimmermann has had a rocky year, mustering just 1 win with 9 losses, an ERA of 6.03, and a 1.43 WHIP. Oakland is expected to counter with Chris Bassitt and he has been delivering. Bassitt is 9-5, with a 3.67 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP, and Oakland is 4-1 in his last 5 turns at home. The A’s sit 1-1/2 games ahead of Cleveland for the second Wild Card spot so losing to the lowly Tigers tonight (whom they have owned) is not an option.
