Detroit at Baltimore

Many had left the Baltimore Orioles for dead after this team went through a 20 game stretch of allowing opponents to score five runs or more. That streak left this team allowing 5.49 runs a game on June 23rd. They have since dropped nearly a full run off that and have since allowed 4.69 runs a game. That has changed a lot for this team that went from losing by a run per game, to winning by 0.23 runs a contest. They are certainly in the Wild Card hunt at just three games under .500. The Tigers are trying to get younger and have moved some key pieces. Thy dip down into their farm system and go with Drew VerHagen today, making his first career start. VerHagen made 19 starts at AAA Toledo while posting a pedestrian 4.90 ERA and 1.56 WHIP. He has appeared for four innings of work out of the bullpen and allowed three HRs. Make the play on Baltimore.
