Baltimore Orioles vs. Oakland Athletics (10:10 PM ET)

Line: Baltimore Orioles (-143) vs. Oakland Athletics (-133);total: 8.5 – view all MLB lines

The A’s look to break a three-game skid later tonight when they hand the ball to Kendall Graveman. Graveman, who is 7-7 with a 4.46 ERA this season, failed to get a win in his previous start, as he was rocked with six earned runs on nine hits in an 8-6 loss to the Angels on August 3.

The A’s, however, are 4-0 in Graveman’s last four home starts. The Orioles, meanwhile, will look for Kevin Gausman to deliver anew after the right-hander’s solid outing in a 3-2 win over Texas on August 3. Gausman allowed just two earned runs on seven hits and struck out seven Rangers in seven innings of work. The O’s are 3-1 in their last four road games.

Writer’s Prediction

Oakland (-133) wins, 6-3.

Detroit Tigers vs. Seattle Mariners (10:10 PM ET)

Line: Detroit Tigers (EVEN) vs. Seattle Mariners (-110); total: 7.5– view all MLB lines

Despite a 3-1 loss to the Mets on Sunday, Detroit must still be scorching, having won 10 of its last 12 games. The Tigers will look to get back on track as they send Michael Fulmer to the mound later tonight. Fulmer has a 9-2 record to go with a 2.42 ERA this season. Fulmer will duel with Seattle’s Hisashi Iwakuma, who enters tonight’s game carrying a 12-7 slate and a 3.99 ERA. The Mariners are fresh off a three-game series sweep of the Angels at home.
