MLB Betting Info - Friday 4/15

[NewYorkKnight]

Dallas Keuchel scattered five hits over eight scoreless innings against the Tigers on Friday en route to his second victory of the season.

Keuchel racked up four strikeouts on the night while walking only one. It was far and away the finest start of the year for the reigning American League Cy Young award winner. It's certainly impressive that he was able to hold down an offense that mashes left-handed pitching and had averaged over six runs per game heading into Friday. Keuchel will look to further improve upon his 2.18 ERA and 1.21 WHIP when he squares off against the Rangers in Texas on Thursday.

Mark Trumbo clobbered a pair of home runs in the seventh inning on Friday, helping to propel the Orioles to an 11-5 victory over the Rangers.

The O's entered the seventh inning trailing 5-1 until Trumbo got the party started with a two-run blast off Tom Wilhelmsen. His teammates followed suit, as Jonathan Schoop and Nolan Reimold also left the yard. Trumbo then put the exclamation point on the nine-run innings with a three-run shot off of Andrew Faulkner. He has been one of the hottest hitters on the planet in the early going, slashing .400/.429/.800 with five homers and 11 RBI.
