This will be the 3rd game of the series on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Jeffrey Springs is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Corey Kluber will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 3-3 with a 3.50 ERA this season. His team won 3 of their last 4 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 1 BB with 3 Ks on 4 hits in 6 IP against the New York Yankees. They scored 4 runs in their last series averaging just over 1 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 8 runs against them averaging just under 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Orioles are coming into this game with a 29-37 record overall and they are 16-15 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak. They just split their 4-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays 2-2 and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Rays on Sunday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Rookie pitcher Kyle Bradish is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Jordan Lyles will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 4-5 with a 5.10 ERA this season. His team lost 3 of their last 4 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 4 earned runs, 1 homer, and 2 BB with 7 strikeouts on 5 hits in 5.1 innings played against the Toronto Blue Jays. They scored 23 runs in their last series averaging just under 6 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 25 runs against them averaging just over 6 runs allowed per game.

 

The Rays are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They have not been playing well recently as they have been stringing some losses together but they have not really been that bad as they have lost their last 3 games by 1 run. They are going up against an Orioles team that has been winning more games recently playing much better and has also been a very good team at home this season. The Orioles still struggled against the Rays in the series opener winning 1-0 as the Rays were great with their pitching in that game. The Rays have Kluber starting in this game and he has been good all season but he is also coming off of a very good start and has been solid in his last few. Lyles is starting for the Orioles here and he is coming off of a bad start in his last game but has not had a great season either. He has also been trending in the opposite direction recently and the Rays, who have not been hitting well recently, will likely get to him here for some runs. The best bet here is on the Rays to win this game.
