    Anyone on The O's tomorrow?

    PorceIIo got off to a rocky start Iast season with 8.03 era in the month of ApriI with batters hitting .429 off him.

    The O's current team has a .351 BA vs. PorceIIo ( smaII sampIe size of 37 ab's )

    The O's hit .429 off him Iast year.

    Detroit hit .217 in 23 AB vs Arrieta Iast year.

    I agree that Oakland has potential, but the post is referring to the Baltimore Orioles.

    Unless I'm looking at the stats wrong, Baltimore has a .222 average this season so far, not .351.

    This is a different Tigers team with more firepower and fewer injuries. Detroit will hit Arrieta more than the Orioles do Porcello.

    Personally, depending on the number, I like the Tigers Over (hopefully 4).

    Sorry for the confusion. That is batter vs pitcher, thanx for pointing that out I wiII fix that.

    Both teams are diff due to free agents and getting back injured pIayers. I couId see both pitchers getting hit. I just hope the O's put up more runs.

    Yeah, I think it could be a high scoring game too.

    I just think it's more likely the Tigers put up a big number. Porcello is better than his numbers from last season show, and he could very easily have a good outing. Benoit and Valverde are an almost unstoppable combination late.

    I'd rather avoid getting caught in a slugfest that could end either way. Putting my faith in Jackson, Boesch, Cabrera, Martinez, and Peralta to have good games again.

    Going to be some hitting for sure then.

    I'm not familiar with the ballpark though. Which field is a S-SW wind blowing out to?

    I'm not sold on Arrieta stopping a pretty good lineup.

    Baltimore can go nowhere but up...THey are better than most people think. Even last year, they had quite a few really nice wins.

    Detroit is not good on the road. Same Tigers, different year. Take them at home, Fade them on the road...

    Take O's.

    They were underdogs all three games though. I can't lay odds with Baltimore vs. a better all-around team, which Detroit certainly is. I am not saying I an on the Tigers, but it is Tigers or pass for me.

    You're kidding, right?

    The team isn't plagued by injuries this year. Magglio, Inge, Valverde, etc.

    And of course the additional firepower in Martinez and the nearly unhittable Benoit to close the door behind Valverde.

    The biggest difference? Teams HAVE to pitch to Cabrera now. No more unhittable balls/intentional walks when you have great hitters following him.

    Way different (and better) Tigers team from last year...

    Take the Orioles if you must, but don't follow this reasoning...lol

    Only thing that worries me d-wizz is Porcello really pitched well down the stretch of the season last year. I think he was 6-2 L-10 after his Triple-A stint.

    Did you see Valverde the first half of last year? Unstoppable. He was injured and overused (because of injuries to other guys) in the 2nd half and struggled some. He's been solid throughout his career.

    Benoit had a 1.34 ERA last year and hasn't given anything up yet this year, though it's a small sample size. But still, unstoppable last year. Definitely one of the best back ends of a bullpen in the game.

    And again, it's a totally different game from last year now that teams actually have to pitch to Cabrera. No more passes now that there are hitters in front of and behind him.

    Some of you may see value in the Orioles, but it shouldn't be because of a 'weak' Tigers bullpen.

    PorceIIo performed as expected, putting up a 9.64 era through 5 innings...

    9 more outs O's...

    DeeWizzle, does the "L" key not work on your computer?

    I'm on the O's as well though, Tigers only have six outs left and Orioles are up 5-1.
