Baltimore Orioles vs. Detroit Tigers Prediction
I’m on the Tigers here. I just didn’t love what I saw from Young in his major league debut, and the Tigers are rolling offensively right now, and have been crushing teams at home this season. The Orioles I think were lucky to salvage a win from their series with Washington to start the week, and I don’t think they’ll be as fortunate here with how the Tigers are rolling along and how well Mize has pitched to this point. Give me Detroit at home in this one.
