Tigers vs. Orioles Odds & Betting Predictions - September 20, 2024

Follow On X: https://x.com/PicksOffice Detroit has been on fire since early August, turning their offense from one of the league’s worst into a legitimate weapon. Since August 11th, the Tigers rank 10th in wRC+ and ninth in wOBA, a drastic improvement from their overall 22nd rank in wRC+ for the season. This surge in production has been led by Kerry Carpenter, who returned from injury with a bang, posting a .930 OPS over the last month. Add Riley Greene, whose stellar but underrated play continues to propel the team, and the Tigers' offense suddenly becomes dangerous. Brant Hurter has quietly emerged as a major factor for Detroit. The lefty has been sensational in his piggyback role, posting a 2.56 ERA in 38 2/3 innings with 37 strikeouts and holding opponents to a .191 average. In each of his last three appearances, Hurter has gone at least five innings while allowing one run or fewer, with his latest outing being particularly dominant—5 2/3 no-hit innings with eight strikeouts against these very Orioles. His sinker and sweeper are proving to be highly effective, making him a reliable option to shut down Baltimore again. Baltimore, on the other hand, has been slumping hard since the All-Star break. Corbin Burnes, who was a Cy Young contender in the first half, has seen a significant drop in form. His ERA since the break sits at 4.24, with his strikeout rate dipping from 8.34 K/9 to 7.63 K/9, coupled with declining velocity and an uptick in walks. Despite a solid outing against Detroit in his last start, Burnes has struggled to maintain consistency, which makes the Tigers an attractive underdog bet. Additionally, the Orioles' once-dominant offense has also regressed significantly. After ranking first in wRC+ and second in wOBA during the first half of the season, Baltimore now finds itself 10th in wRC+ and 16th in wOBA post-All-Star break. Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman, key players in the first half, have cooled off substantially, with Rutschman hitting just .202 with a .590 OPS down the stretch.
