Back home! Fresh off a successful 4-2 road trip, the A's are back in Sacramento tonight ready to play host to the playoff-bound Detroit Tigers.

Detroit comes into this one with the second-best record in baseball and the best in the American League. They're also riding a hot streak as they've won 12 of their past 16 games. They're sitting comfortably atop of the American League Central with a 10.5 game lead over the Royals and the Tigers are more or less on cruise control and preparing for the playoffs. This young group made it to the ALDS last year but will be looking to go father this time around with higher stakes and higher expectations. No spoiler role for the A's here tonight but maybe we can inception some concern into Detroit's club.
