Scott "The Bulldog' Rickenbach Free Pick MLB Wednesday UNDER the total in Detroit Tigers vs Oakland A's @ 1:10 ET - With both these teams trending OVER this month it is no surprise that a big total is posted on this game. That is resulting in exceptional line value here because Oakland's Daniel Mengden is coming off of a 2-hit shutout in his most recent start plus he has an edge here against the Tigers as they have never faced him. As for the Tigers Anibal Sanchez, he also is off of a fantastic start as he fanned 11 in 6 innings while also allowing only 1 run. He has an added edge here against the A's as they haven't faced him this season and when Sanchez faced Oakland in 2016 and 2015 they did not hit him very well at all. The Tigers right-hander has seen his numbers skewed this season by a couple of bad starts but he has produced a number of quality outings and, given the lack of familiarity for the hitters here, I am expecting another quality start here. Look for the under to improve to a perfect 3-0 in Mengden's road starts this season. Even with yesterday's game flying over the total, the under is 12-6 in Oakland's road games with a posted total of 10 or 10.5 runs the past 3 seasons combined. Free Pick on UNDER the total in Detroit early Wednesday afternoon. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach
