Tigers vs Orioles MLB Betting Preview

Brandon Young doesn’t seem like anything special (96 Stuff+, 6.0% K-BB, 5.29 xFIP), while Framber Valdez is on pace for a near-career-worst season (104 Stuff+, 9.8% K-BB, 4.23 xFIP).

I don’t power rate either of these bullpens or defenses very highly, and both offenses have some pop. The Tigers rank ninth in Jon Anderson’s xwOBA over expectation (which takes into account opposing pitch quality), while the Orioles’ offense has improved as the season has progressed.

There’s plenty here to justify the Over.

Pick: Over 8.5
