Key Stats
Pittsburgh Pirates
Bailey Falter will take the bump for the Pirates in today’s game. Falter has started the season 0-0 with a 13.50 ERA and struck out two batters. Michael A. Taylor leads the team with a .429 batting average and 12 hits. Connor Joe has an OBP of .483, while Oneil Cruz has hit a team-high two home runs, and Bryan Reynolds has recorded nine RBIs.
Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles will start Tyler Wells in today’s game. Wells is 0-1 this year, with a 4.50 ERA and seven strikeouts. Adley Rutschman leads the team with a .346 batting average, an OBP of .433, and nine hits. Anthony Santander has smacked a team-high two home runs and tallied nine RBIs. Cedric Mullins has hit two home runs as well.
Game Prediction
We called yesterday’s game correctly and are not changing things today. Tyler Wells will make things difficult for Pittsburgh’s offense in this one. He gives the O’s the pitching advantage as Bailey Falter is off to a slow start this year. Now Falter faces a Baltimore lineup that has been red-hot and has shown no signs of slowing down. We are rolling with the better team in this one. Back the Orioles to win and clinch the series on the road today.
Final Pick
Baltimore Orioles ML (-135)
