We cashed a nice Under ticket between the Detroit Tigers and the Oakland Athletics here last night, and we are coming right back with the same play between the same two teams.

Armando Galarraga has been a disappointment for the Tigers after his breakthrough year of last season, but he has been pitching a lot better lately. Galarraga has allowed three earned runs or less in each of his last two starts and in five of his last eight outings, and like most pitchers, he likes pitching here in spacious McAfee Coliseum. Even in his off year for him, he tossed a gem here back on June 30, allowing only one run and two hits in 6.1 innings.

Similarly, Trevor Cahill is also improving for Oakland, as comes in off of back-to-back Quality Starts. Yes, he was lit up by the Tigers in Detroit, but this is a more hitter friendly park and Cahill has the good fortune of catching a slumping Detroit offense that is batting only .226 as a team over the last 10 games while averaging just 3.80 runs.

The Athletics are only averaging 3.70 runs over this same span, and both bullpens for these teams remain hot. It sounds like all the ingredients are in place for a second straight Under n this series.
