The 3-1 Baltimore Orioles had more come-from-behind wins than any other team in the American League last year and they did it again last night, erasing a 3-0 deficit against the 1-3 Kansas City Royals to go on to a 6-4 win. Tonight, in the middle game of their 3-game set, the Orioles should have an easier time when they face the Royals expected starter, Alec Marsh. Marsh’s numbers are not even worth mentioning from a year ago, they were that bad, and the Royals are 0-8 in his last 8 starts. The same goes for the Orioles expected starter, Cole Irvin, who is only getting the nod because Kyle Bradish and John Means are on the IR, but Baltimore is 6-1 in his last 7 starts overall and 5-0 in his last 5 at Birdland. To say the Orioles have owned the Royals would be an understatement. They have won 5 straight against KC and 8 of the last 9. I like the Orioles in this situation.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BALTIMORE ORIOLES
