Tigers at Orioles picks and predictions
Prediction
Tigers 7, Orioles 6
Moneyline
LEAN TIGERS (+110).
Detroit is the hotter team, being 4-1 in its last 5 road ganes and 7-3 in its last 10 overall while Baltimore is only 2-3 in its last 5 at home and 4-6 in its last 10 overall. The Tigers have also played the Orioles very well lately, being 3-2 in the last 5 meetings.
This is a lean because Baltimore is the better team and because the Orioles are 6-4 in their last 10 vs. Detroit.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
With both teams fighting for playoff rights, I expect this to be a very close matchup, so I have the Tigers covering as +1.5 (-200) underdogs. However, this line is set very favorably towards Detroit, so betting on it is not worth the risk, bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.
If you are comfortable with the risk here, you can divvy up units between here and the ML.
Over/Under
BET OVER 8.5 (-105).
The Over has hit in 5 straight games for Baltimore, which is 85-61-9 ATS this season. For Detroit, the over is 3-2 in its last 5 road games. The Over has also hit in back-to-back meetings between these teams.
Be aware that the Over is only 5-5 in the last 10 meetings, 4-6 in Detroit’s last 10 Games, and 5-5 in Baltimore’s last 10 Games.
