Detroit Tigers vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction 

Detroit comes into this game looking for their fifth win in a row and they continue to be one of the hottest teams in baseball. The Tigers are 41-37 on the road this year, while the Orioles are 43-35 at home. Baltimore was able to avoid being swept with a walk-off homer on Thursday, but they have not played well over the last few series. The Orioles will have Corbin Burnes on the mound, who has been very good recently. Detroit hasn’t officially named their starting pitcher yet, but their pitching staff and bullpen have been fantastic down the stretch. I know Burnes has been solid for Baltimore, but Detroit just took two out of three from the Orioles last weekend and they are hot. Take the Tigers here.
