Key Stats
Baltimore Orioles
The Baltimore Orioles are projected to send Cole Irvin to the mound for today’s game. Irvin went 1-4 last year with a 4.42 ERA and 68 strikeouts in 24 games. Ryan Mountcastle leads the team with a .429 batting average and six hits. Anthony Santander has a team-high two home runs and eight RBIs, and Adley Rutschaman carries a .471 OBP.
Kansas City Royals
The Royals will likely send Alec Marsh to the mound for today’s game. Marsh finished last season with a 3-9 record, a 5.69 ERA, and 85 strikeouts in 17 games. Bobby Witt Jr. leads the team with a .500 batting average, eight hits, and an OBP of .556. Salvador Perez has collected a team-high two home runs and six RBIs.
Game Prediction
If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. We called the Orioles to get the win yesterday, and we are doing the same thing today. I am not taking anything away from this Kansas City team, but it will be a long day on the mound for Alec Marsh, who struggled last season. This Baltimore is determined to prove they are contenders this year, and they should tally another win today with ease.
Final Pick
Baltimore Orioles ML (-170)
