The Tigers swept a doubleheader the last time their game was postponed. They want to achieve that again on Saturday. So here are our Orioles vs Tigers betting picks and predictions.
Rain washed out the Detroit Tigers game against the Baltimore Orioles last Friday. As a result, the teams will play a split doubleheader on Saturday. According to gambling software reports, the Tigers want to repeat their doubleheader win against Cleveland last April 18.
Orioles vs Tigers Betting Picks
According to baseball news reports, veteran left-handers Eduardo Rodriguez and Matthew Boyd will start for the Tigers on Saturday.
On Sunday against the Orioles, Rodriguez retired the first 20 hitters he faced until Ryan Mountcastle hit a two-out single in the seventh inning. Rodriguez left the game after that inning and ended up with a no-decision in the Orioles’ 2-1, 10-inning victory.
Rodriguez (1-2, 2.32 ERA) has pitched 17 consecutive innings without allowing a run, which he will bring into Friday’s game. On April 18, he shut out Cleveland for eight innings, and on April 12, he allowed just one run in six innings against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Boyd has a 1-1 record and a 4.26 earned run average. In five innings against Milwaukee on Monday, he allowed two runs on five hits and struck out eight batters.
The Orioles’ retaliation will come from right-handers Dean Kremer and Grayson Rodriguez, both rookies.
Our Conclusion
Game Time: April 29, 2023, at 12:10 PM ET
Bet on Under 8.0
There will not be much of a score in this game, even though both teams have terrible offenses, since Rodriguez will look to build on his success against the Orioles by keeping them shut down, and the Tigers will do the same by keeping themselves shut down. That is why one of our baseball picks is Under.
