Tigers vs. Orioles Pick
After being struck out 20 times on Wednesday night, will the Detroit Tigers have a better effort at the plate against the Baltimore Orioles tonight at 7:05PM ET?
The Tigers have Mike Pelfrey on the mound to face Ubaldo Jimenez of the Orioles. According to oddsmakers at BetDSI, Baltimore is favored at home in this game. The Orioles are getting odds of -165 to win, while the Tigers have a money line of +150 to prevail. The over/under total for the game is listed at 9.5 runs.
Baltimore is 20-12 on the season, 13-5 at home and 17-13-2 with the under. Detroit is 15-18 overall, 10-9 on the road and 22-11 with the over. These two are meeting for the first time this season, but the Orioles have won seven of their last 10 against Detroit.

The Tigers have lost eight of their last nine games and suffered 20 strikeouts on Wednesday in a 3-2 loss to Max Scherzer and the Nationals. Baltimore is riding a four-game win streak coming into today. Neither team has a great pitcher taking the mound. Jimenez has a 4.54 ERA on the season while Pelfrey is at 6.23. However, Pelfrey’s ERA over the last three games is an awful 8.62. That won’t likely improve much on the road and the Detroit bullpen has been struggling lately. That should keep a streaking Baltimore lineup solid tonight and allow the Orioles to pull away from Detroit.
