On the verge of losing six straight and being swept at home by the red-hot Cleveland Guardians, who have won seven in a row, the Baltimore Orioles will turn to Grayson Rodriguez tonight at Birdland to stop the bleeding. Rodriguez usually comes through when called upon and I expect he will do just that tonight. He is 8-3 with a 3.82 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP. The veteran, Carlos Carrasco, is expected on the hill for the Guardians. Carrasco is not having a good year with a record of 3-6, a 5.40 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. Gunnar Henderson and company should put up some runs on the struggling right-hander. The first two games could have gone either way with Baltimore getting the short end of the stick in both. Not tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BALTIMORE ORIOLES
