Athletics vs Tigers MLB Player Prop Picks (Jun 25)

The Oakland Athletics (20–55) visit the Detroit Tigers (38–39) looking to avoid a fifth straight loss. Pitching depth contrasts sharply in this matchup, with Detroit sending veteran Alex Faedo (4–3, 3.98 ERA) against Oakland’s rookie Seth Martinez (1–4, 6.10 ERA). The total is set near 9 runs in what could be a pitcher-led contest.

• A’s have lost four straight, with offense struggling—just 3.1 R/G over that stretch.
• Tigers are 2–3 in their last five but have scored more than 5 runs in three of those games.
• Both starters present contrasts: Faedo with greater consistency, Martinez with high variance ERA.

Oakland Athletics Player Prop Pick: Seth Martinez

Oakland ranks near bottom in both runs scored and ERA. Martinez has struggled with command (6.10 ERA, 1.50 WHIP) while regional bats like Shea Langeliers and Brent Rooker provide intermittent power. Depth issues in bullpen continue to surface.

• Martinez has shown strikeout upside (7.9 K/9 in minors), with 35 Ks in 40 IP at Triple-A.
• Tigers strike out near league-average rates—his swing-and-miss stuff can exploit this.
• Even a mid-length outing yields opportunity for 6+ Ks.

Detroit Tigers Player Prop Pick: Alex Faedo

Detroit plays better at home (.520), anchored by Faedo’s veteran contributions. Their lineup gets production from Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson. The bullpen has been more reliable than in the early season.

• Faedo has allowed no more than four earned runs in six straight starts with an ERA under 4.00.
• Oakland averages just 3.8 R/G and strikes out frequently, reducing big innings potential.
• His experience and recent form make him a safe floor play.
