Orioles’ newbie Grayson Rodriguez hasn’t been too hot in his first three starts, but luckily for him, he’s up against the Tigers’ slumping offense. They’ve only managed a single run in three out of their last four games, and just two in the other. So, there’s a good chance Grayson can repeat his decent debut, where he gave up just two runs in five innings.

On the other side, the Tigers are putting lefty Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound, fresh off an sharp eight-inning shutout against the Guardians, with ten Ks and zero walks. This guy’s been rock solid this season, as his 1.07 WHIP and 2.41 ERA show. Plus, he’s got a solid history against the Orioles’ lineup, with only 16 hits in 67 at-bats (.239 BA) and a measly one earned run in his last three starts against them since 2021.

Sure, the Orioles can be a threat with their bats, but they’ve been struggling recently, with just 11 hits across their last three games. Take the Under 8 runs!
