Baltimore has an impressive road record with seven games above .500. They are playing hard and are in the thick of a pennant race. They've won ten of their last 14 games, including as a dog of +127, +220 and +180. They come off a 3-2 win yesterday in this park, led by pitching and stellar defense up in the middle with catcher Matt Wieters and shortstop J.J. Hardy.  The Orioles are 10-4 in their last 14 road games and 8-3 in their last 11 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Wei-Yin Chen (11-7, 3.70 ERA) goes for the Birds with the team 5-2 in his last seven starts. He has a 1.50 ERA against Detroit this season and the Orioles are 5-1 in Chen's last six road starts, as well as 5-1 in his last six starts as an underdog. The Tigers are 2-5 in their last seven games against a team with a winning record and 0-6 in Doug Fister's last six starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5. Play the Orioles.
