With stud Tarik Skubal on the mound Sunday for Detroit, my Orioles vs Tigers predictions and MLB picks have the home team taking care of business on April 27.
Orioles vs Tigers prediction
My Orioles vs Tigers best bet: Tigers -1.5 (+115 at Caesars)
That one-time potent Baltimore Orioles' offense has gone into the tank, and they've been reeling because of it, having dropped five of their last six.
The O’s have scored just 12 runs across those games, currently tied for 16th in runs per game at 4.15 per game. Just a year ago, the Orioles ranked fourth in the bigs at 4.8 runs per contest.
That inability to outscore their problems has led to the pitching staff getting exposed, as they own an MLB-worst 5.28 ERA. They’ve allowed at least six runs in three of their last five losses, including an unforgettable 24 to the Cincinnati Reds that started this tailspin.
Dean Kremer might not be the answer for Baltimore either. He’s got a 6.84 ERA in five starts and was lit on fire last start against the Nationals. Kremer didn’t make it out of the fifth inning, surrendering five earned runs on 11 hits.
The Detroit Tigers will be looking for their fourth straight win and eighth in the last 10 games. They’ve been putting up a bunch of runs lately, scoring at least six in five of their last seven wins.
That’s helped them move to just outside of the Top 10 in scoring, putting up better than 4.5 runs per game. They also have ace Tarik Skubal on the mound, and after a few shaky starts to start the year, the lefty has been dynamite over his last three.
He's won back-to-back outings over Milwaukee and the Yankees, giving up no earned runs in 13 frames. Last start, he went five strong, scattering seven hits and giving up just two earned runs in a game Detroit eventually lost 4-3 in 10 innings.
Detroit has rolled in this head-to-head of late, winning four straight and six of the last eight. Look for the Tigers to take advantage of a Baltimore team struggling to find its way in the early part of the season.
Caesars QuickPick: Our Orioles vs Tigers same-game parlay (SGP)
Tigers -1.5
Tarik Skubal Over 6.5 strikeouts
Gleyber Torres Over 0.5 runs
Skubal fanned just four in his last start against Kansas City, but he’s been dialling up the punchouts at a pretty good rate in April. He struck out a season-high nine Brewers in his previous start and had eight against the Mariners on April 2.
Gleyber Torres has now scored a run in five of his last six starts. With the Yankees last season, Torres scored a run in four of six games against the Orioles.
He’s got a nice .292 average vs Kremer in 24 career at-bats, so he should be a threat to get on base and plate.
