When looking at the season resume of Baltimore starting pitcher John Means it is certainly impressive. Nonetheless, Means recently returned from a 7-week stint on the DL. Since that time, he’s made 2 starts and registered a horrible 8.02 ERA while allowing 5 home runs in just 11 2/3 innings pitched. Despite Friday’s win at Comerica Park, Baltimore is still an atrocious 19-35 on the road this season.

Detroit had their 10-game home winning streak ended in yesterday’s 4-3 loss to Baltimore. Matt Manning is 3-0 in his home team starts this season with a more than respectable 3.14 ERA. During 7 starts this season, Manning has allowed an average of 1.57 walks per outing and 5.1 hits per appearance. He will be facing an Orioles team that has gone an abysmal 4-24 on the road this season versus starting pitchers averaging 1.75 or less walk per outing. Additionally, Baltimore is also a bankroll draining 13-41 since last season when facing starting pitchers who allow an average of 5.5 or fewer hits per outing. Bet the Tigers on the money line.
