Orioles vs. Tigers Prediction, Odds, Picks - September 21

Baltimore Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles are coming off a tough series against the Tampa Bay Rays, in which they were swept. The Orioles have now lost seven of their last ten games and are in danger of falling out of contention for a wild-card spot.

Pitching

The Orioles will send right-hander Dean Kremer to the mound on Wednesday. Kremer has been one of the Orioles' most consistent starters this season, with a 4.50 ERA in 20 starts. He has struck out 102 batters in 106 innings pitched.

Batting

The Orioles' offense has been struggling lately, but they still have some dangerous hitters in their lineup. Trey Mancini is hitting .281 with 15 home runs and 72 RBIs, and Anthony Santander is hitting .263 with 23 home runs and 79 RBIs.

Defense

The Orioles' defense has been solid this season, with a fielding percentage of .986. They have also turned 136 double plays, which is tied for the most in the American League.

Detroit Tigers

The Detroit Tigers are also coming off a tough series, losing two of three to the Chicago White Sox. The Tigers are now 68-74 on the season and are in fourth place in the AL Central.

Pitching

The Tigers will send right-hander Matt Manning to the mound on Wednesday. Manning has been one of the Tigers' best starters this season, with a 3.74 ERA in 27 starts. He has struck out 144 batters in 149 innings pitched.

Batting

The Tigers' offense has been led by Robbie Grossman, who is hitting .314 with 10 home runs and 64 RBIs. Jeimer Candelario is also having a good season, hitting .288 with 16 home runs and 65 RBIs.

Defense

The Tigers' defense has been one of the worst in the league this season, with a fielding percentage of .978. They have also turned just 106 double plays, which is the fewest in the American League.

Prediction

The Orioles and Tigers are both struggling teams, but the Orioles have a slight edge in this matchup. Kremer has been a more consistent starter than Manning, and the Orioles' offense has more power. The Tigers' defense is also a major concern. The Orioles should be able to win this game if they can get to Manning early.

Odds

The Orioles are -120 favorites to win this game, while the Tigers are +100 underdogs. The over/under for the game is 8.5 runs.

Picks

I like the Orioles to win this game. They have the better starting pitcher and the more powerful offense. I also think the Tigers' defense will be a liability in this game. I recommend betting on the Orioles to win.
