Tigers vs Orioles Prediction

The Tigers won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including the last four. I am backing them to make it five in a row as I like the pitching matchup, which favors the Tigers. Tarik Skubal allowed a .184 BA in 49 at-bats against the Orioles, while Dean Kremer allowed a .333 BA in 36 at-bats against the Tigers. Additionally, the Orioles have been awful against southpaws this season, with just a .167 BA in 227 at-bats. Skubal will dominate in this game, and the Tigers will cover the run line. The third-best offense meets the worst defense in the MLB. Say no more.
