Analysis
This is a 5* play on BAL.
The Orioles finished the regular season with five wins in six games. Even more impressive is that those games came against the Yankees and a Twins team that was fighting for a Wild Card spot. The Royals barely made the post-season, limping to the finish line with just 4 wins in their last 13 games. Corbin Burnes is in playoff form, posting an ERA of 1.20 while going 3-2 and striking out 31 in 30 innings over his last five starts. He was 1-0 with a 3.97 ERA in two games against the Royals this season. Cole Ragans didn't fair as well against the Orioles, going 0-1 with a 7.88 ERA in two starts. The Royals are a far better team at home, and I don't like their chances here in Game 1 on the road.
