Valdez 2.57 career ERA vs depleted A's

Framber Valdez owns an 8-4 record and 2.57 ERA in his career against Oakland and draws a lineup missing Brent Rooker (season-ending knee surgery) and other regulars during a five-game skid. Detroit has won seven of its last eight and outscored the A's 12-3 over the first two games, while Jack Perkins carries a 6.75 ERA. Priced -138, a modest edge that the pitching and injury gap supports.
