Athletics vs Detroit Tigers Betting Insights
When Tigers LHP Tarik Skubal is on the mound at home, you have to find a way to bet it, but taking -290 is not feasible unless you are working it into a parlay. Athletics RHP Luis Severino has been significantly better on the road versus at home, so the under on the full game or F5 are options.
Severino at home - 6.79 ERA, 1.60 WHIP
Severino on the road - 0.93 ERA, 0.96 WHIP
The Tigers are 8-2 in the last 10 home starts Skubal, while the under is 7-2-1 in that span. The Under is 5-1 in Severino's six road starts.
OPTIONS
Tigers -1.5 F5 +105
F5 Total UNDER 3.5 runs +105
A's UNDER 2.5 runs -130
MLB Best Bets: Athletics/Tigers UNDER 7.5 for 1 unit (FanDuel -120)

Philadelphia Phillies vs Houston Astros Best Bets and Predictions
Astros LHP Framber Valdez is on a heater right now with six wins in a row, and he is especially hot at home with a 1.61 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 10.6 K/9, and 0.3 HR/9. Phillies LHP Ranger Suarez's past three road starts have gone Under with total of 6, 3, and 2.
I do not cover player props in this article, but take a look at Valdez to get a win at +165 or better.
MLB Best Bets: Phillies/Astros UNDER 7.5 runs for 1 unit (ESPN Bet -120)
Boston Red Sox vs Los Angeles Angels Best Bets and Predictions
As a Red Sox fan, I have tried to stay away from betting for or against them, especially with how frustrating this team is. But LHP Garrett Crochet has been one of the best pitchers in baseball, and the matchup against LHP Tyler Anderson significantly favors him. In six out of the last seven starts by Crochet, the games have gone Under, and the Red Sox are 4-0 in his past four outings.
MLB Best Bets: Red Sox -1.5 runs for 1 unit (BetMGM -110)
