Result: Win
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Oakland Athletics.

For the most part MLB handicapping comes down to the starting pitching and in this case, the Tigers' Mike Pelfrey is completely outclassed today. Pelfrey (0-4, 5.55 ERA) gave up four runs off a whopping 11 hits while striking out three over six innings in a fortunate no-decision vs. the light-hitting Phillies on Monday. Pelfrey's WHIP now stands at an unsightly 1.81, which is second-worst among the 104 qualifying starting pitchers. Note that Pelfrey has been especially poor in this spot all year, going 0-2 with a 4.87 ERA on the road and an even worse 0-1 with a brutal 8.53 ERA in all day games. The home side counters with arguably the hottest pitcher in the league right now in Rich Hill (7-3, 2.18) who scattered eight hits with six strikeouts to just one walk over eight scoreless innings in a victory over the Mariners on Monday. Over a four-game win streak, the veteran has given up just five runs over 25.2 innings of work. Note that Hill is 2-1 with a 2.04 ERA in all day games this season. We're banking on Hill outdueling his counterpart, making this a mid-sized price in which we have no issues at all in laying. Play on OAKLAND.
