The Baltimore Orioles could not muster any runs last night, falling to the Kansas City Royals 1-0 in game 1 of the best of 3 AL Wild Card game. They had better turn things around tonight or it’s another early post season exit for the O’s, but I think they will come out on top. Birdland will be electric, and Baltimore is expected to give the nod to Zach Eflin. Eflin has been solid all year with Baltimore and Tampa, posting a 10-9 record with a 3.59 ERA, a 1.15 WHIP, and he is 3-1 in his career against the Royals. KC’s expected starter is Seth Lugo, who has had a great season with a record of 16-9, a 3.00 ERA, a 1.09 WHIP, and is 0-1 in his career against the Orioles. Baltimore skipper Brandon Hyde will not hold back and will pull out all the stops. The Orioles live to see another day.
