This game features two of the brightest young pitching prospects in baseball, as David Hernandez and the Baltimore Orioles take on Rick Porcello and the Detroit Tigers.

The 24-year-old Hernandez has shown great composure in his first eight Major League starts, going a respectable 3-3 while pitching for a bad team with a very nice 3.28 ERA. Most impressive is the fact that he has allowed three runs or less in seven of his eight starts including the last six in a row. Hernandez made his big league debut vs. these Tigers, and he promptly limited them to just one run and five hits in 5.2 innings.

Porcello is one of the youngest players in the majors at just 20 years old, yet all that he has done is win nine games in his first full season. Sure, he has a rather high 4.36 ERA, but he has the advantage of facing the Orioles for the first time ever, and he is facing a Baltimore lineup that is batting a modest .244 on the road this season while averaging 4.17 runs. Porcello also has the support of a Detroit bullpen that owns a 3.64 ERA the last 10 games.

The Under is 7-2 in the last nine Detroit home games as well as 6-2-1 in the last nine Baltimore road games, and we look for those trends to continue here.
