Orioles vs Tigers predictions

Heading into the game against the Detroit Tigers, the Baltimore Orioles have some key players poised to make a significant impact. Keep an eye on Anthony Santander, who has been swinging a hot bat with 41 homers and 95 RBIs this season. His power could be crucial in this matchup. Corbin Burnes, with a solid 3.18 ERA and 157 strikeouts, is expected to take the mound, potentially giving the Orioles a strong start. With his ability to limit walks and homers, Burnes could keep the Tigers' batters in check, setting the stage for Baltimore's offense to capitalize.

On the Detroit side, Riley Greene shows promise at the plate, boasting a .265 average along with 21 home runs. With his knack for getting on base and driving in runs, he'll be crucial for injecting some energy into the Tigers' lineup. However, the pitching matchup appears challenging, especially with Baltimore's Burnes on the hill. Detroit will need their starter and bullpen to step up and control the Orioles' potent offense, keeping the game within reach for their hitters.

Considering the pitching matchup and current momentum of both teams, the Orioles seem to have the upper edge in this game. Their combination of solid pitching from Burnes and the explosive bat of Santander might just be too much for the Tigers to handle at Comerica Park. While Detroit will undoubtedly put up a fight, Baltimore's overall balance and recent performance suggest they could extend their series lead with another win in this matchup.
