The Orioles are coming into this game with a 8-14 record overall and they are 5-4 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Boston Red Sox 2-1 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 4-game series with the Twins on Tuesday night. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday with the series opener still to be played on Monday.

His team won 3 of their last 4 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 1 BB with 5 Ks on 5 hits in 4.1 IP against the New York Yankees. They scored 12 runs in their last series averaging 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 9 runs against them averaging 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Orioles are coming into this game as a big underdog with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well in their recent games and they are even coming off of a series win against the Red Sox in their last one. They are going up against a Twins team that has also been heating up in their recent games as they have won 7 of their last 8 games but both of these pitchers have been solid all season and it is likely that this game will not have many runs in it. The Orioles have also been playing very well at home this season and for the value in this game along with the way they have been playing recently, the best bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.

"This is a couple of years now where we know that no matter what lefthander we're facing, we have a guy that we can insert in a lineup. He doesn't have to play every day to have pretty good at-bats and to potentially do some damage for you. That's not that easy to find in this game." - Rocco Baldelli on Garlick after their win against the Rays on Saturday.

 

 

"For the most part, I'm pretty satisfied with six innings. A couple long at-bats to start the game, a couple of innings where there were multiple guys on base, a couple to jams to get out of. But overall, six innings of one-run ball (is OK)." - Jordan Lyles after their win against the Red Sox on Sunday.
