Really like Oakland tonight, think Detroit is coming in a bit cold scoring 11 runs the last 7 games of the year.
Sherzer has not pitched well of late and I think his over confidence earlier on the year is shaken and may ride into the playoffs. In the last game against Minn, he threw 123 pitches over 7 ip, recording a nice 10 SO but giving up 6 bb as well, mind you against the horrid Twins. Maybe he was working on something there, but looking at the line for a couple of other late games, I am not to impressed. Granted Colon will give up a couple, but I think getting a home dog with a vet pitcher in the first round is a nice combo.
Oakland +114
