Bet on Tarik Skubal to rack in a win for today's MLB pick, odds, and expert prediction for Tigers vs. Orioles on Thursday, June 12.

Baltimore Orioles centerfielder Colton Cowser was afforded no such respite during an extremely eventful fifth inning against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night and unfortunately had nothing to show for the extreme effort except the satisfaction of knowing that he got in some solid cardio work.

The Tigers remain atop the American League Central, eight games up on the Minnesota Twins. The Orioles are still last in the AL East, 8.5 games back of a Wild Card spot. Time: 6:35 p.m. ET

It’s Thursday, June 12 and the Tigers (44-25) are in Baltimore to take on the Orioles (27-39). Tarik Skubal is slated to take the mound for Detroit against Dean Kremer for Baltimore. The Orioles beat the Tigers, 10-1, yesterday to snap a two-game losing streak. This is the rubber match with the series tied at one apiece.

The Orioles scored seven runs in the eighth inning to back a brilliant start from Zach Eflin and secure their biggest win since opening day.

The Detroit Tigers optioned Beau Brieske to Triple-A Toledo, less than 24 hours after the reliever allowed five runs in a 10-1 loss to the Orioles.
