Tigers vs Orioles: Game 3 prediction, odds, injuries, and picks - June 12, 2025

The Orioles are on the precipice of claiming a series against the top team in the American League. After clobbering the Tigers with a score of 10-1 in yesterday's contest, only one thing is prohibiting the O's from rolling over Detroit in the Game 3 decider — AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal.

Skubal will bring his impressive 2.16 ERA and 105 punch out tally against a Baltimore side that is on the up and up and has won seven out of its last 10 games.

Tigers vs. Orioles recent form and records

Following their loss to the O's yesterday, the Tigers surrendered the best win percentage in MLB to the 44-24 New York Mets, with them having one more loss than Juan Soto's squad. Nevertheless, the team is still on top of the American League and the AL Central.

Baltimore, on the other hand, is slowly chipping away on the massive grave that they have dug themselves last month. The team currently holds the bottom cellar in the AL East with a 27-39 record but has dropped just three games since May 30.
