14-5, +15.56
No value in the early games.
2* Detroit Tigers -125
1* Detroit Tigers -1.5 +130
Had this line in the -150 range. Robertson and the Tigers getting little respect here. The Orioles are an average team at best, with a very shaky starter.
Tigers have been plugging along, 6 and 7 hits a game, waiting for a breakout game, and I think this is it. Jaret Wright, comes over to Baltimore from NY, gets roughed up his first outing, and now makes his home debut. I just think Wright is on the downside of his inconsistent career, and he's facing a very solid baseball team. Nice bounceback spot here for Detroit who owns a statistical advantage, pitching advantage, lineup advantage, bullpen advantage, trend advantage, etc.
Wright, a power pitcher, can run it up low to mid 90's. But Detroit is fresh off seeing Daniel Cabrera, who can run it up even higher. That ball will be coming in a hair slower for Detroit, and I think they will have Wright timed up early in this one. Wright's off speed stuff is nothing special, and he relies on overpowering you, and be effectively wild. Wright has a terrible April ERA in his career and is a slow starter.
Nate Robertson is in the prime of his career, off a career season last year. He is another power pitcher, but I think he has more success here as he is very effective on left-handed hitters, and Baltimore's entire outfield swings it from the left side. Robertson is off a solid outing, and has some confidence going into this game. Detroit has had success in decisive games, 5-0 last 5 game 2's of a series, while Baltimore is about the opposite.
Orioles have a hard time maintaining their offensive consistency, 7-20 last 27 after scoring 5 + runs previous game. With Robertson coming in, I see that streak continuing.
Detroit 7
Baltimore 1
