DETROIT TIGERS(Skubal) +156 over Chicago White Sox(Giolito)---------Skubal has been rocked in each of his last 5.  Yet Tigers are on a 9-4 run.   A much-needed win streak as Tigers ascend from the cellar.  On the road,  going against another Italian name.(Win 7-5..........Candelario 2-4 HR)

OAKLAND A's(Blackburn) +161 over Houston Astros(Urquidy)----A's are 3-3 in July!  They were 5-21 in June.   On a team this bad,  Blackburn is 6-3 with the A's 9-7 in games that he has pitched.  Urquidy shut down the Yankees and Angels.....but he is hittable.(Lose 8-3............Blackburn rocked for 6 in 4)

LA ANGELS(Detmers) +127 over Baltimore Orioles(Wells)----Detmers' numbers are not bad at all,  its just that the team has lost all 6 of his starts after his no-hitter.   In fact,  the Angels went from a good hitting and scoring team on May 24th,  to a veritable cellar-dweller now,  after Uvalde.  Orioles have improved as Wells has improved,  and I can't say a negative word about the guy.   Yet Japanese politician Shinzo Abe has been assassinated,  just days after Ohtani pitched a masterful 7 inning 2-hitter.  In fact,  this is not even a very good price to fade Wells.  But the Angels have Japanese blood,  and this event may be what it takes to avert the Angels from this course of misery.(Lose 5-4..........a truly sick Angels loss;  Iglesias comes in in the 9th,  gets 2 outs............and then 4 straight hits.  Game over.)
