The Arizona Diamondbacks and the Baltimore Orioles will open a 3-game set tonight at Camden Yards. The D-backs are 18-20 overall, 9-10 on the road, and are coming off a 5-4 victory yesterday over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. The Orioles were off on Thursday so they will be well-rested going into tonight’s game. The O’s are 24-12, 12-7 at Birdland, and are expected to have Cole Irvin on the hill. Irvin has been in the zone with a record of 3-1, a 2.86 ERA, and a WHIP of just 1.07. The expected starter for the Snakes is Brandon Pfaadt. He comes in at 1-2 with an elevated ERA of 4.61 and a 1.24 WHIP. The D-backs are hot, winners of their last 4, but they will have their hands full tonight. The Orioles are averaging over 5 runs per game with one of the lowest team ERA’s in the Bigs and are 7-3 over their last 10. Consider the O’s and go to the wicket.
