Detroit at Oakland MLB Playoff's Game 5 Free Tip

Detriot at Oakland

J Verlander 3.46 ERA vs S Gray 2.67 ERA

We got the win with the Red Sox on Wednesday, so lets keep the ball rolling today.

Its amazing that these two teams have combined for over 320 games this season and now it all comes down to ONE game. The series is tied at 2-2 and this 5th game decider will take place at the Coliseum in Oakland,CA. 

Detroit are a very well balanced baseball team with alot of offensive power. Justin Verlander will play Defense today. He was the starting pitcher this time last year and it was in a game 5 must-win . Detriot did just that - won and went through to the ALCS. Verlander is clutch at the mound and proven in this exact situation.

Oakland on the other hand send in ROOKIE pitcher Sonny Gray. Gray has been great this season but we think this is a mistake by Oakland's manager Bob Melvin. Bartolo Colon may have been the safer pick in this spot. This moment may just overwhelm a rookie pitcher.

Oakland also have a history of game 5 failures.

BET ON : Detroit Tigers $1.94 ( 2 UNITS )
