Baltimore at Detroit

Detroit separated a bit from Minnesota who lost to Cleveland last night. That loss allowed the Tigers to move two games up in the AL Central. But Detroit knows they need to keep winning to ensure a division win. Luckily they have Nate Robertson on the mound. His record has been unimpressive but he's got a 3.84 ERA that's down to 1.71 over his last three starts. A bit of run support and this guy could have eighteen wins. Will he get that this afternoon? I think he'll get enough against a Baltimore team that is 25-45 on the road and 1-6 in their last seven games. They struggle against lefties like Robertson so I don't expect much Orioles offense here. The O's are 3-17 this season on the road vs. a pitcher with a 1.300 WHIP or better (Robertson's is 1.290). Detroit's in off a 17-2 win and they are 12-1 this season off a game in which they scored in double digits. Tirgers at home.
