The Orioles have been so bad this season mainly because their starting pitching is absolutely abysmal. Not one of their starters have an ERA under 4.00, and they continue to struggle with gaining any type of reliable consistency that would help the O's in their quest to get out of the cellar of the American League East. The best pitcher on the staff right now is probably Jeremy Guthrie, but even he has an ERA of 4.30 and a record of 3-9. With those types of numbers, and much worse, Baltimore is not going to win very many games if they continue to get the same type of pitching. Even though they are not hitting for ultra-high averages, Luke Scott, Adam Jones, and Ty Wigginton are all in double figure home run totals. This has helped soften the blow that the lack of pitching has brought about. However, the Tigers' bats are much too strong, which leads to the free wager pick of the OVER.

While the Orioles starting pitchers have been struggling all season, the Tigers staff hasn't pitched much better. Justin Verlander, the team's ace, has been getting hit around pretty regularly as of late, and he is probably the most skilled option that the Tigers have right now. Luckily for Detroit, they have had terrific relievers all season long that have helped to supplement the lack of pitching that the Tigers' starters have been producing. At the plate, Miguel Cabrera continues to absolutely crush the ball with regularity and consistency. His home run and RBI totals are both tops in the American League right now. Magglio Ordonez has also been absolutely incredible for the Tigers this season in their quest for the American League Central title. Brennan Boesch has been a wonderful surprise as well this season for the Tigers, as he is currently second on the team in home runs and third in RBIs. Some great offensive numbers from the Tigers makes it easy to select the OVER as the free bet for this Monday night affair.

Two run-of-the-mill pitching staffs and one team that is absolutely crushing the ball right now (Tigers) equals an excellent opportunity to place a free wager on the total of this game. Take the advice of betsfreebets.com and look at the OVER to get good value from this game. Balls will no doubt be flying all around Comerica, as long as these two pitching staffs continue their abhorrent performances.
