The set-up: Oakland destroyed the Tigers 17-3 yesterday. I'm expecting a much lower-scoring "duel" in the second game. The home side sends Daniel Norris to the bump to atone for yesterday's disappointing effort, while the visitors counter with Frankie Montas.

The pitchers: Montas (4-2, 2.78 ERA) held the hard-hitting Indians to two runs over six innings last Friday, after holding the Pirates to one run over six frames of work. Montas hasn't given up a home run in his last five starts and I believe he carries over that momentum here.

Norris (2-1, 3.63) gave up two runs while striking out five over seven innings vs. the hard-hitting Twins on Sunday.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Oakland has seen the total go under in 15 of its last 23 then the total 9 or higher, while Detroit has seen the total dip under in ten of 13 this year as a road dog in the +125 to +175 range. After yesterday's slug-fest, expect these competent hurlers to be the main story-lines in tomorrow's summaries.
