Baltimore Orioles at Detroit Tigers 7/30/21 - MLB Picks & Predictions

Comerica Park will play host to a Friday night MLB clash between the Baltimore Orioles and the Detroit Tigers. The Orioles (35-66) have dropped 35 of their first 53 road games and own the worst overall record in the American League. Last night, Baltimore managed just four hits and went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position during a 6-2 road loss against Detroit.

On Thursday, veteran 1B Miguel Cabrera crushed two home runs to power the Detroit offense. SP Casey Mize (6-5) allowed one unearned run in seven innings to pick up the win for the Tigers (50-55).
