Detroit Tigers
Moneyline Pick - Detroit Tigers (-130): Grade B

The Detroit Tigers enter Friday's matchup riding a good form, while the Baltimore Orioles limp in having lost three of their last four and missing key pieces from their bullpen and rotation. Detroit’s starting pitching has been dominant at home early in the season, and the offense has consistently handled right-handed pitching well. With the Tigers’ bullpen ranking among the league’s best in WHIP and Baltimore’s late-inning arms still unsettled, the value clearly leans toward Detroit extending its early-season momentum.

Honestly, with the Tigers clicking and the Orioles still piecing things together late in games, it's hard not to feel good backing Detroit here. Their bats are alive, their arms are sharp, and when the bullpen’s locking things down too, that's usually a recipe for another W.

Over/Under Pick - Over 8.5, (-110): B+

The Baltimore Orioles and Detroit Tigers clash as two potent offenses meet amid rotation concerns for both sides. Baltimore continues to miss a key starter, while Detroit’s staff leans on an innings-restricted ace before handing off to a vulnerable middle relief corps. With each lineup producing at a high level and warm conditions expected to aid the ballflight, the ingredients are there for a high-scoring affair. The Over 8.5 looks strong here, with the game likely to surge past the total before the bullpens can stabilize.

When you've got two teams that can mash, tired arms in the middle innings, and a warm breeze helping balls carry, it’s basically screaming for a bet on the Over. Feels like one of those games where runs pile up in a hurry and you’re cashing by the sixth inning.

Spread Pick - Detroit, -1.5 (-158): A-

The Detroit Tigers continue their strong early-season push, riding a hot streak into a home matchup against a Baltimore Orioles team that remains short-handed. One of Detroit's many great arms lead a roster sitting five games over .500, while their lineup has shown past success against Baltimore’s projected starter. Even with minor injury concerns in the outfield, the Tigers’ key bats are expected to be in action. With a robust home run differential and a surging bullpen, laying the run-line with Detroit looks like smart value.

Feels like the kind of setup where the home crowd gets something to roar about early. The Tigers have been beating up on shaky pitching, and with their starter dealing lately, it’s tough to see the Orioles sneaking out of this one without taking some lumps.
