Pick
I’m backing the Orioles here. I just don’t trust this Tigers lineup for consistent success and despite a bumpy start here and there, Kyle Gibson’s actually pitched pretty well so far for his new team and I just feel like the Orioles are far and away the more trustworthy team here. Not a price I’d look to pay every day, but I’ll do it here with the O’s.
