Final Orioles-Tigers Prediction & Pick
It has been a struggle for the Orioles with Corbin Burnes on the mound as of late. In the last five starts, Burnes has given up 24 runs, but just 17 earned runs. Still, he is just 1-4 in those five games. The Orioles had won just four of the last six games before the series with the Tigers. Further, they have scored more than three runs just once in the last seven games. While Corbin Burnes has been solid this year, he has not been winning due to a lack of run support. With how the Orioles are hitting in the last week, that may continue in this one. Take the Tigers to cover in this game.
Final Orioles-Tigers Prediction & Pick: Detroit Tigers +1.5 (-134)
