Tigers vs Orioles, May 22, 2026: How to Watch, Odds, Predictions, and More
Detroit Tigers vs. Baltimore Orioles preview, pitching matchup, start time, and how to watch Friday at Camden Yards on Apple TV.
Introduction The Detroit Tigers arrive in Baltimore needing a clean reset after a rough home series against the Cleveland Guardians . Detroit has lost six straight, nine of the last 10, and 14 of the last 16 — a slide that is one loss shy of the 2-15 stretch the club had from Jun 13 to July 13 during the 2019 season. The matchup does offer a chance to stop the skid.
The Baltimore Orioles are also in a bad stretch after being swept by the Tampa Bay Rays and have just one victory in its last six tries. With both clubs trying to steady things near the 1/3 season mark, Friday’s opener matters for more than just one game in the standings. AJ Hinch turns to Jack Flaherty , who has posted an 8.
41 ERA and 5. 57 FIP over his last five starts across 20 1/3 innings. The 30-year-old did give Detroit six frames last time out, just the second time this season he reached that mark.
Flaherty last faced the Orioles in 2024 with the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Aug. 27. He worked six innings, allowing three runs on six hits (two home runs) and two walks with five strikeouts, but took the loss.
