Orioles Preview & Projected Starter

Baltimore comes in at 87-51 after defeating LAA. The Orioles halted the Angels right rally in time with a run in the tenth, and they’ll look to bring the brooms out here in game three.

Angels Preview & Projected Starters

Los Angeles moved to 64-75 after falling to Oakland. The Angels took another heartbreaking loss last night, and they’ll look to avoid being swept a second straight here on Wednesday.

Pablo Sandoval (7-11, 4.19 ERA, 111 Ks) is set to start game two for LAA. The fifth-year lefty didn’t pitch well in Oakland last week, allowing five runs thru just 3.2 innings to take his fifth loss of the season.

Angels Player Trends & Props

Corey’s Free Pick

The O’s added more insult to the many wounds absorbed by the Halo’s this season, and with their ace set go, the third corner may sway in their favor as well. The Angels showed sign of life last night, but at this point in the season, it’s indeed better for them to lose them to win ballgames. After clawing for a win last night, look for Baltimore to take game three in much cleaner fashion.
