Tips and predictions for the Tigers at the Orioles

forecast

Orioles 4, Tigers 3

Money line

HAPPEN.

There is no great value here.

The Orioles should emerge victorious, and Burnes has been an ace for most of the season. However, they have struggled recently and are not worth playing as a expensive favorite.

Running Line/Against the Spread

BET TIGERS +1.5 (-140).

The Orioles have struggled to win in recent weeks, and they haven’t won decisively either. They haven’t won by more than 2 runs since September 3rd. Burnes has been a strong option for them, but he’s just 2-4 in his last 6 home games and 2-4 in his last 6 games overall.

Baltimore has a record of 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games. The Tigers have been one of the best covering teams in MLB, having a record of 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games. They have covered in Montero’s last 3 starts. Take TIGER +1.5 (-140).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (-105).

The Tigers have been under in 2 straight games and in 6 of their last 7 games. They have allowed 2 or fewer runs in 3 of their last 4 games and have scored 4 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 7 games.

The Orioles are 3-5 O/U in their last 8 games and have underperformed in Burne’s last 2 starts, allowing a total of 4 runs in those 2 games. With that in mind, back UNDER 7.5 (-105).
