The Baltimore Orioles have not let postponed games hamper their momentum as they return home to Camden Yards with four consecutive wins under their belts. They'll host the reeling Detroit Tigers for the opener of a four-game set Wednesday night, and this looks like a reasonable price on the home team.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Tigers hand the ball to Mike Pelfrey (0-4, 6.23 ERA) who has been hit hard in each of his last four starts, conceding a total of 18 earned runs on 32 hits in just 20 2/3 frames. He has posted a 4.43 ERA in four career starts against Baltimore which counters with Ubaldo Jimenez (2-3, 4.54). The 32 year old right-hander has posted a 5-11 record with a 5.60 ERA in 19 career starts against Detroit but he is coming off eight innings of two-run ball against Oakland.

2. The Bullpens - Baltimore's relievers have combined for an MLB-best 9-2 record with a 2.33 ERA this season. Detroit's bullpen has compiled a 3.76 ERA and is one of the reasons why the Tigers have lost eight of their past nine games.

3. X-Factor - The Birds' Mark Trumbo homered twice in Wednesday's 9-2 victory at Minnesota. Trumbo is 5-for-10 with a home run in previous meetings with Pelfrey who gave up three homers in his last start.

Selection: This is a play on the Baltimore Orioles (8*)
