The Baltimore Orioles (36-66) and Detroit Tigers (50-56) continue a four-game series Saturday at 6:10 p.m. ET first pitch at Comerica Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Orioles vs. Tigers odds with MLB picks and predictions.
LHP John Means is the projected starting pitcher for the Orioles. He is 4-3 with a 2.94 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, 7.9 K/9 and 1.5 BB/9 through 82 2/3 IP spanning 14 starts.
Means missed time in June-July due to a shoulder injury. He has struggled in two turns since returning July 20 with 9 ER over 11 2/3 IP.
RHP Matt Manning is the projected starter for the Tigers. He is 2-3 with a 6.00 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 4.6 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 over 33 IP spanning 7 starts.
Manning is a rookie with pitch-to-contact stuff. He has been undone by a 58.0% left-on-base rate. Manning owns 4.34 ERA over four outings in July.

Money line (ML)
The Orioles and Tigers split the first two games of this series.
The Orioles are the lean in a vacuum Saturday, but it’d be wise to let this one PASS without a play due to the uncertainty around Means.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The best side in this matchup — due to the analysis that these teams are more equal than what shows in their records and because of a solid price — is BALTIMORE -1.5 (+150).
The conviction behind this play is thin, so consider a partial-unit wager.
Over/Under (O/U)
Consider the OVER 9.5 (+100). The Baltimore offense looks to have more potential for scoring. The starters are question marks, and the bullpens — both fatigued — are worse.
