Baltimore Orioles vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
The big question for the Tigers in this game is how they will bounce back after losing a game they had no business losing. The answer to that question is that they are going to really struggle. Eflin has been good this season, and he’s going to lock down the Tigers' offense here. The Orioles' offense might not have the best game, but they are going to score enough to come out on top. Back the Orioles on the money line.
