Baltimore Orioles vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
The Orioles continue to lose, continue to underachieve, and it’s hard to get behind Povich, who has allowed 32 hits and 14 earned runs in his last 25.1 innings. Povich has been one of the worst starting pitchers in baseball up to this point, and that includes allowing a .306 batting average. The Twins are coming off a couple of nice wins over the Red Sox, and now they throw out an all-star pitcher in Lopez, who has allowed five earned runs in his last 23 innings. Lopez is rolling through 28 innings, and he’s holding current Orioles hitters to a .190 batting average and 19 strikeouts in 58 at-bats. Give me the Twins, and I’ll take the RL to shave down the price.
