The Baltimore Orioles and Arizona Diamondbacks face off on Sunday in an MLB showdown at Chase Field.
O’s Add Bullpen Arm
The Orioles added Jorge Lopez on waivers who they traded away last year to the Minnesota Twins. The former Orioles closer has struggled since leaving the team, but they hope coming to Baltimore can change things. The Orioles are averaging 4.96 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.26 runs per game. On the mound for the Orioles will be Jack Flaherty who sits with an 8-8 record and an ERA of 4.37.
Gallen Looks to Bounce Back
Zac Gallen overall has been good this season, but he is coming off a start where he was awful. Gallen went 5.1 innings giving up nine hits and six runs. In the three previous starts he had given up two runs total, and they need him to get back to that pitching here. The Diamondbacks are averaging 4.67 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.82 runs per game. In Game 1 the offense only scored four runs and they need to get the offense going here.
Shane’s Free Pick
Gallen is coming off a bad start, but in the previous three starts he was dominant, and he’s going to get back to that here. The Orioles offense struggled to score in the first game, and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. This should be a pretty comfortable victory for the Diamondbacks here. Back the Diamondbacks on the run line.
Shane’s Pick Diamondbacks -1.5
