Detroit Tigers vs. Oakland Athletics: A Tale of Two Teams (and One Very Nervous Starter)
June 26, 2025 – Comerica Park
The Setup:
The Detroit Tigers (50-30) are favored to humiliate the Oakland Athletics (32-49) in a game that’s less of a contest and more of a “how many runs can we score before the A’s starter cracks?” showcase. The Tigers’ offense is a nuclear reactor (402 runs, 4th in MLB), while the A’s pitching staff is a leaky sieve (5.49 ERA, 29th in MLB). And oh, Detroit’s starter? Dietrich Enns, who hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2021. Welcome back to the big leagues, Dietrich!
The Odds (Because You Insisted on Stats):
- Moneyline: Tigers at -1.73, Athletics at +2.05 (FanDuel).
- Run Line: Tigers -1.5 (+252), Athletics +1.5 (-374).
- Total: 8.5 runs — Over 1.77, Under 1.94.
Why the Tigers Will Win (Probably):
1. Riley Greene’s Hot Streak: The Tigers’ slugger went 4-for-4 in the series opener. He’s a -148 shot to go over 0.5 hits tonight. Translation: He’s not not hitting.
2. Enns’ “Rookie” Debut: Dietrich Enns, last seen in 2021, is tasked with containing a Tigers’ offense that averages 8.5 runs per game. The A’s are giving him +2.5 runs on the spread. Spoiler: He’ll need a time machine to survive.
3. A’s Pitching: Jeffrey Springs faces a Tigers lineup that’s literally hitting 400+ runs. Springs is a -160 underdog to not give up 4.5+ runs.
Prop Bets to Mock Your Friends With:
- Brent Rooker HR Over/Under 0.5: Rooker is a -148 favorite to hit a home run. Bet against this only if you enjoy losing money.
- Spencer Torkelson 3.5 HR/Runs/RBI: Torkelson is a -165 favorite to eclipse 3.5 total bases. If he doesn’t, the Tigers’ offense is in trouble (and so is your bracket).
- Enns Strikeouts Under 2.5: Enns is a -200 underdog to strike out more than 2.5 batters. Bet on “Under” and laugh all the way to the bank.
The Prediction:
The Tigers will win 9-3, buoyed by a 3-RBI double from Gleyber Torres (-152 to go over 0.5 hits) and a 4-run 6th inning that leaves Enns asking, “Wait, did I just give up four runs in one inning?” The A’s will muster exactly zero runs, and Tyler Soderstrom’s +750 shot to hit a triple will remain unfulfilled.
Final Score Prediction:
Detroit Tigers 9, Oakland Athletics 3.
Bet the Tigers -1.5 run line at +252. You’ll thank me later. 🎯
