Baltimore Orioles vs Detroit Tigers Analysis
The Baltimore Orioles have kept pace in an extremely competitive AL East Division, trailing only Tampa Bay Rays in terms of standings. After taking two of three games from the Red Sox at home, Baltimore went on the road and won their inaugural game in Detroit Thursday to reach nine wins in ten contests. On Friday night, rain swept through Detroit forcing today’s doubleheader. Beginning the day for Baltimore is struggling starter Dean Kremer. Although undefeated so far this season, his 6.20 earned run average across five starts has kept opponents at bay. Kremer has allowed 27 hits in 24.2 innings thus far, including seven homers. He has struck out 19 batters while walking seven. Kremer currently owns a hard hit percentage of 39.7 and an overall strikeout percentage of 17.9. On the road, Kremer has recorded two starts with an ERA of 4.66 while giving up 10 hits over 9.2 innings of road play.
The Detroit Tigers actually sit third in an underachieving AL Central Division despite losing six of eight games, ahead of Friday night’s series opener on Friday night. Prior to this series, Detroit had taken two of three games from the Milwaukee Brewers. Unfortunately, in its opener against the Baltimore Orioles they fell 7-4 after giving away a 4-2 lead by giving up five runs in the seventh inning. With Friday night’s game postponed, the Tigers hope to quickly rebound and end their two-game skid on Saturday. Eduardo Rodriguez recently put on a brilliant display against his former team, the Orioles, by pitching one of the finest games of his season against them. Rodriguez allowed only one hit over seven innings while striking out six, yet did not secure the victory. Rodriguez boasts 25 strikeouts to just five walks this season with 21 hits allowed, for an incredibly low 0.84 WHIP across four starts; unfortunately he only managed two victories due to Detroit’s ineffective offense.
