Detroit Tigers vs. Baltimore Orioles Prediction

I’m backing the Tigers here. Tarik Skubal has been elite this season once again and looks poised and ready to defend his Cy Young award. On the other side, the Orioles have picked up a win in this series, and Dean Kremer’s been better at home, but I realistically don’t trust him to match zeroes with Skubal here, and in the end, I think the Tigers get the win to close out the series. Give me the Tigers here.
