Why this lean

The projection leans Detroit Tigers because Detroit Tigers owns the cleaner scoring-margin profile and Detroit Tigers has the recent-form edge. Park factor, weather, and lineup handedness vs. the starter own the run-total swing here.

Three things to watch

  • Form gap. Detroit Tigers is carrying the cleaner recent sample than Athletics. Streaky teams can carry one more game than the standings imply.
  • Net efficiency. Detroit Tigers has the cleaner scoring profile; Athletics needs the game state to get messier.
  • Scoring margin. Detroit Tigers at +1.0 per game vs. Athletics at -2.2 — a 3.2-point gap on the season.
