Analysis:
Baltimore looks to keep their winning streak going on Saturday night they have taken the first two games of a four-game set versus the Detroit Tigers and their last five overall. Baltimore will send Jeremy Guthrie to the bump with his 4-4 W/L record and ERA of 4.90 on the season. The right-hander has gone 1-4 W/L with a 6.26 ERA in his previous seven starts. Guthrie is 1-0 W/L with a 4.85 ERA in one start and three relief appearances against Detroit. The Tigers hope to end the O’s winning streak and they will send one of the major’s hottest pitchers to the hill on Saturday night. Justin Verlander is 5-2 W/L with an ERA of 3.55 on the year but the right-hander is 5-0 W/L with a 0.85 ERA in his last six starts, striking out sixty in 42 1/3 innings of work. Verlander has been solid in four starts versus this Orioles team posting a record of 3-0 W/L and an ERA of only 1.29. In his last outing on Monday Verlander allowed five hits while striking out eight in seven scoreless innings in a 13 to 1 win over the Royals. Baltimore is 20-41 W/L (-18.9) in home games versus an AL starting pitcher whose ERA is 4.00 or better the last 3 seasons. The Orioles are 15-36 W/L when facing a team with a winning record and 20-51 W/L when installed as a home underdog of +150 or less. The Tigers are 37-18 W/L as a favorite of -150 or less and 18-6 W/L their last twenty-four as a road favorite. Because of the O’s current winning streak we are getting decent line value with one of the league’s best pitchers so lay the chalk with the Tigers as Verlander and his teammates take down the Orioles on Saturday night.
