MIN/BAL Over 8
The Orioles come into today as one of the hottest lineups in the MLB while leading in team home runs and 4th in runs batted in. They are now facing a veteran pitcher in Pablo Lopez who is prone to giving up home runs and has been hit hard so far this season. He is being barreled at a higher percentage than his career average and only got through 4 innings while giving up 5 earned runs in his last start against DET.
The Twins lineup has been struggling so far this season but now are facing a pitcher who is just filling the rotation spot to give others rest. Andrew Suarez entered 4 games in Triple A but none of them were starting spots and came from the bullpen and only throwing for 5 innings total. His career has been a struggle so far as he held a 7.16 ERA last season for STL. This is a bullpen day for BAL and could be what the Twins need to turn their performance around.
