Baltimore Orioles vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
I’ll take a stab on the Orioles. Irvin needs a bounce-back start, though. In his last outing Irvin put up five earned in 4.2 innings during a no-decision versus the Yankees. He had five earned in 11.1 innings prior to that. As for Allen, he’s given up six earned over his last 17.0 innings and should do pretty well here.
On Monday the Orioles had a few flashes on offense here and there but overall it was a tepid evening at the plate. The good news is that the pen was great, giving up zero earned, one hit and one walk with seven Ks in 3.1 innings. Baltimore should be fine if they can get the bats going in game two.
