Key Stats
Baltimore Orioles
The Baltimore Orioles are projected to send Dean Kremer to the mound for today’s game. Kremer went 13-5 last year with a 4.12 ERA and 157 strikeouts in 32 games. Ryan Mountcastle leads the team with a .400 batting average and four hits. Anthony Santander has a team-high two home runs and seven RBIs, and Gunnar Henderson carries a .538 OBP.
Kansas City Royals
The Royals will likely send Michael Wacha to the mound for today’s game. Wacha finished last season with a 14-4 record, a 3.22 ERA, and 124 strikeouts in 24 games. Bobby Witt Jr. leads the team with a .455 batting average, six hits, and an OBP of .615. Maikel Garcia has a team-high of two home runs, and Salvador Perez has collected four RBIs.
Game Prediction
This game comes down to a pitching duel. Kremer and Wacha are both coming off solid seasons last year and are looking to pick up where they left off. The Orioles have a better roster and play better at home. I am trusting the Orioles’ batting in this one to get the win. It will be close, so I think Baltimore ML is the play.
Final Pick
Baltimore Orioles ML (-155)
