The Tigers put up 21 runs in winning the first two games of this series, and I expect them to keep hitting and sweep. Athletics lefty Gage Jump is 2-4 with a 5.24 ERA at home. While he pitched well last time out at Boston, Jump walked four batters for the second consecutive start. Tigers starter Keider Montero posted a 3.18 ERA over seven July appearances. Look for Detroit, which has scored 44 runs in its past four games, to respond to the Tarik Skubal trade with a fourth win in five games.
