The Baltimore Orioles will go for a series win tonight against the best in the AL, the Detroit Tigers, at Birdland. They had better be clicking on every cylinder because the reigning AL Cy Young winner, Tarik Skubal, will be on the hill for Detroit and the southpaw, as he always does, is delivering. Skubal is 6-2 with a 2.16 ERA and a nasty WHIP of only 0.88. He is also 3-1 in his career against Baltimore with a 1.52 ERA. Baltimore is expected to counter with Dean Kremer who is 5-6 with a 4.98 ERA, a 1.28 WHIP, and in his career against Detroit he is 0-2 with a bloated ERA of 8.44. Prior to last night’s loss, the Tigers had won six straight against the Orioles and they are not in the habit of losing two in a row.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DETROIT TIGERS
