The Baltimore Orioles and Detroit Tigers meet Friday in MLB action at Comerica Park. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Baltimore Orioles have scored 19 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 6 of their last 8 games. The Orioles are 13-5 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Adley Rutschman leads the Orioles with 27 hits and 17 RBI, while Austin Hays and Cedric Mullins have combined for 49 hits and 30 RBI. Grayson Rodriguez gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 5.12 ERA and 25 strikeouts this season. This will be Rodriguez’s second career game against the Tigers.
The Detroit Tigers have scored 10 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 9 games. The Tigers are 2-13 this season when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Riley Greene leads the Tigers with 21 hits and 6 RBI, while Spencer Torkelson and Matt Vierling have combined for 38 hits and 15 RBI. Eduardo Rodriguez gets the ball, and he is 1-2 with a 2.32 ERA and 25 strikeouts this season. Rodriguez is 13-5 with a 2.79 ERA and 135 strikeouts in his career against the Orioles.
The Orioles are 13-3 in their last 16 Friday games and 8-1 in their last 9 overall. The Tigers are 37-81 in their last 118 Friday games and 4-1 in their last 5 home games. The under is 6-2 in Orioles last 8 overall. The under is 8-0-1 in Tigers last 9 overall. The Orioles are 0-4 in the last 4 meetings in Detroit and 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
Eduardo Rodriguez is pitching well this season and that’s why the Tigers are getting some respect with this line. However, the Tigers’ offense continues to have issues stringing runs together, and it’s been the complete opposite for the Baltimore Orioles. In fact, the Os are sixth in runs per game. Give me the road team and the cheap price.
