Baltimore Orioles vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
I might take a stab on the Braves here. Fried is pitching well these days and should set Atlanta up well. Over his last three starts combined Fried is 3-0 with three earned runs in 24.0 combined innings. The Braves have given up 15 runs over the last two games though, so the pen needs to come through here as well.
As for the Orioles, on Monday they kept their excellent run going with 11 team hits. The O’s got a nice outing from the bullpen as well with 2.0 innings, no hits, no earned, two walks and four Ks. Baltimore is cooking right now so I’m probably staying away from this one. Should be a great game, though.
