I think Oakland is the better team and value to bet. They have home-field, better pitching and getting a great price as the underdog.
I like detroits pitching much better.

Verlander

That is a disgusting top 4 anyway ya slice it.
Veras/benoit in the 8-9 is a great combo...
Oakland pitching at home is much better, but parker milone can both be very inconsistent, and to be honest I think their most talented pitcher is sonny gray....problem is he is a rookie whom has never had this type of pressure. Balfour is great, and so is rest of the pen, but if I get to start a team and pick either of the two pitching staffs, I'm takin detroits right now. Benoit has honestly been so awesome this year and noone talks about him.
Now, I'm not sayin id take detroit because of it.....with homefield and the disciplined game the A's play, I think this is the most even series in the playoffs.
Kinda odd, because two teams whose approach from an offensive standpoint is much different.
