MLB - 963 Baltimore Orioles @ 964 Detroit Tigers
(Starting Pitchers: J. Arrieta vs M. Scherzer)
***DOUBLE DIME PLAY***
Baltimore will start Jake Arrieta today instead of Jason Hammel, who is currently sick. Arrieta struggled early on the season with a 6.63 ERA in four starts and then, he didn't pitch better at Triple-A Norfolk with a 5.50 ERA. He will now play at Detroit, so I wouldn't be surprised if Arrieta gets completely crushed today, especially as he allowed a combined of 15 earned runs on his last two starts at the Minors!
The Tigers will start Max Scherzer and he is fired up to try to become the first start in Franchise history to open a season 10-0. Scherzer has been looking excellent as of late and he had 5 days off for today. He has been amazing on this kind of spot with 2.17 ERA, .415 OPS allowed and a 8.5 K/BB ratio! He faced the Orioles on the last day of May and he allowed three runs in eight innings, a good start against a nice offensive team like Baltimore. He also struck out 10 batters in that outing. The Orioles will be on a mini letdown spot tonight after a big series against Boston this weekend, so it's possible that Scherzer will have another good outing in here. If we add to that the massive edge that Detroit's lineup will have against Arrieta, we can only expect the Tigers to grab a comfortable win tonight. I'm taking Detroit in here on a Double Dime Play!
Pick: 4 units (Double Dime Play) on 964 Detroit Tigers RL -1 (w/ M. Scherzer) @ -140 / 1.71 on 5Dimes
