Orioles Have Lost Two Straight Games

The Orioles have lost two straight games, and the pitching has given up 15 runs over the last two starts. On Saturday, Cole Irvin wasn’t good, giving up five hits and four earned runs in two innings. The Orioles are averaging 4.95 runs, while their pitching is giving up 4.14 runs per game. The offense is ranked 2nd in the league, while the pitching is ranked 10th.

Getting the start for the Orioles will be Albert Suarez, who sits with a 5-4 record and an ERA of 3.48. In his last start against the Miami Marlins, he went two innings giving up eight hits and six runs. They are going to need him to be a lot better here. 

San Diego Padres vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction

The Padres are going to find success here, and it’s going to be because of the offense. Suarez in his last start gave up six runs, and he’s going to be blown up here. The Padres’ offense is going to have no issue running up the score against him. Vasquez gave up zero runs in his last start, and he’s going to step up with another big start. The Orioles won’t be keeping up. Back the Padres.
