The Athletics are playing like a born again team in the American League West after having won five of their last six games, and if they can win on this road trip they have a chance at staying near the top of the Division. Will this reflect in the MLB Betting lines and MLB Odds for this four game series in Detroit?

The Athletics hope Sheets can rebound tonight, as he is coming back from elbow surgery and seems to be improving. He missed all of 2009 with surgery and in the off season signed a 10 million dollar one year deal with the A’s. Sheet’s has not pitched against the Tiger since 2007. On the other hand the Tiger hope their 30 year old pitcher Willis can make a recovery also tonight. Read more…
