(-110/-110)+125
As the Baltimore Orioles face off against the Detroit Tigers on September 14, 2024, both teams are coming off a tight matchup yesterday, where the Tigers edged out the Orioles with a narrow 1-0 victory. This game is pivotal, as it’s the second in the series and both teams are looking to gain momentum.
The Orioles, boasting a solid 83-65 record, currently rank 1st in MLB in team home runs and 5th in overall offense. They are led by Gunnar Henderson, who has been a force this season with 36 home runs and a .281 batting average. However, they will need to bounce back from yesterday’s loss, especially with the Tigers’ pitching holding them to no runs.
On the mound, Corbin Burnes, ranked 31st among MLB starting pitchers, is set to start for the Orioles. Burnes has had an impressive season with a 3.18 ERA and a 13-8 win-loss record. His recent outings suggest he can dominate, evidenced by his last start where he pitched well, going 6 innings with 2 earned runs. Despite a 3.88 SIERA indicating some luck, he remains a reliable option.
Conversely, the Tigers are underperforming at 76-72 and rank 24th in MLB in offensive categories. Ty Madden, projected to start for Detroit, has a solid 2.57 ERA but is ranked 305th among starting pitchers, indicating challenges ahead. Madden’s projections show he may struggle, with averages of 2.8 earned runs and 4.9 hits allowed.
Interestingly, projections suggest the Orioles are favored, despite their recent loss to the Tigers, giving them a slight edge in this matchup. The Game Total is set at 8.0 runs, reflecting expectations for a competitive game, though the Tigers’ offense remains a concern.
