Tigers vs Orioles Prediction
I’m looking at the under in this spot. Bradish has been strong with a 3.49 ERA and 1.32 WHIP, and he’s allowed 11 hits and 5 runs in his last 20.1 innings. Montero has a 3.14 ERA and 0.96 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowed 10 hits and 4 runs in his last 18.1 innings. Both lineups can be hit or miss despite decent talent on both sides. I see a low-scoring game on Monday night. Give me the under.
