Detroit Tigers (Scherzer) at Oakland Athletics (Gray)
As far as top-tier pitchers go for me tonight, it’s between Scherzer and Greinke. I’ll stay away from Scherzer just because Oakland’s offense scares me a lot more than Cincinnati’s does. The Tigers have slowed offensively in their last handful of games so I’m not targeting their big bats against Gray tonight.
Alex Avila (C) – $4442
Sonny Gray isn’t a bad second-tier option but as much as the Tigers offense may have slowed down, they can pop eight runs in a game with the best of them. I’ll stay away for tonight. I’m not really targeting their hitters against Scherzer, either.
Kyle Blanks (OF) – $3501
