The 34-20 Baltimore Orioles should even the score with the 24-29 Cleveland Guardians tonight when they play the middle game of their 3-game set at Camden Yards. The O’s were blanked yesterday, 5-0, but usually rebound after a loss. Tonight’s expected starters are Kyle Gibson for Baltimore and Cal Quantrill for Cleveland. Gibson is 2-1 over his last 3 starts with a 2.37 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP. Quantrill has struggled over his last 3. He is 0-1 with an elevated ERA of 6.89 and a 1.40 WHIP. Despite winning two straight, the fact is the Guardians do not score a lot of runs. They are averaging around 3.5 runs per game which is one of the worst in the majors. Baltimore’s star center fielder, Cedric Mullins, is questionable for tonight but regardless if he suits up or not, Baltimore is 16-11 at home and are the better team, by far.
