Randy’s Pick
The Oakland Athletics have been better lately, but they're still a bad team that's losing bettors left and right on the season. It takes more than a couple of wins to stop me from fading. Michael Lorenzen has been hit or miss and the Tigers' offense has been sluggish this week, but the Athletics are the Athletics, a team that's going to find ways to win at an unbelievable clip. Give me the Tigers.
