Detroit Tigers vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction
Two underachieving teams riding the struggle bus and two pitchers who are in awful form. I’m looking at the over. Flaherty has a 5.77 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through 43.2 innings. Flaherty has a 5.68 ERA and a .295 allowed batting average in 19 road innings. Bassitt has a 5.44 ERA and 1.70 WHIP through 43 innings. Bassitt has allowed 16 hits and 9 runs in his last 15 innings. I expect some offense in this spot. Give me the over.
