Baltimore Orioles vs. Minnesota Twins (MLB) - 8:10 PM EDTPick: Money Line: -140 Minnesota Twins Play Title: TOP PLAY AL GAME OF THE MONTHClick Here to View Pick Analysis
The Orioles are that bad right now. They cling to second place by .001 and are in danger of beginning the steep slope back to their cellar. They have the second worst run differential in the American League and their once promising offense was swallowed up by their massive strike out problem. With pitchers like Tommy Hunter, you can see why they’ve been so bad. Hunter was set down to AAA a few weeks ago but the fact that he has been called up is a very bad sign. He had allowed five runs in five of his last seven games. He also gave up 20 home runs in only 81 innings, which is almost unfathomable. Francisco Liriano had a terrible start to the year, but has really come on. He’s given up one run or fewer in five of nine starts and is coming off his best start of the year, an eight-inning 15-strikeout effort vs. the A’s. Look for the O’s to lose again tonight.
