Monday’s MLB matchup between the Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays will take place at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
The Rays have a 52-43 overall record going into this game, but they have just suffered back-to-back losses to the Kansas City Royals. Only five runs were scored by the offence throughout the course of the two games, which resulted in a loss. The Rays’ offence hasn’t been great this year; their league-low 4.21 runs per game average ranks 21st.
The Orioles, who will be playing on the other side of this contest, lost to the Yankees on Sunday, dropping them back below.500. The inability of the offence to score contributed to the 6-0 loss. With a 4.19 runs per game average, the Orioles offence hasn’t been outstanding this year, ranking 22nd in the league. So far this season, Anthony Santander has 16 home runs and 49 RBIs. Austin Hays has 46 RBIs and 12 home runs to his credit.
Corey Kluber, a pitcher for the Rays, is currently on the mound and has a record of 6-5 with an ERA of 3.73. Kluber pitched six innings in his previous game against the Orioles, giving up eight hits and four runs.
Austin Voth, an Orioles pitcher with a 1-1 record and a 6.38 ERA, will start the game. Voth played 2.1 innings against the Rays, allowing just one hit and no runs.
In their last 11 home games, the Orioles have a 9-2 record. In the Orioles’ past seven games overall, the over is 5-1-1. In the last four games involving a right-handed starter, the over is 4-0. In their last 7 home games versus a team with a losing road record, the Orioles are 7-0.
Over the weekend, the Orioles struggled against the Yankees, but that’s going to change today. In his previous outing against the Orioles, Kluber allowed four runs.
