Key Stats
Pittsburgh Pirates
Marco Gonzales will take the bump for the Pirates in today’s game. Gonzales has started the season 0-0 with a 1.80 ERA and struck out two batters. Michael A. Taylor leads the team with a .429 batting average and an OBP of .438, while Oneil Cruz has collected 12 hits and two home runs. Bryan Reynolds has recorded nine RBIs so far this season.
Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles will start Dean Kremer in today’s game. Kremer is 0-0 this year, with a 5.06 ERA and five strikeouts. Adley Rutschman leads the team with a .310 batting average, an OBP of .400, and nine hits. Anthony Santander has tallied nine RBIs, and Cedric Mullins has hit a team-high two home runs.
Game Prediction
The Pirates were able to etch a close win to tie the series, but I don’t see it happening again. With Kremer on the mound, Pitt’s offense will come to a screeching halt. On the other hand, the Os also have a tough matchup with Gonzales pitching. He is off to a good start, but Baltimore’s young guns should be able to score enough to wrap things up in the Steel City. Back the Orioles to clinch the series today.
Final Pick
Baltimore Orioles ML (-135)
