The Baltimore Orioles and the Cleveland Indians meet in MLB action from Progressive Field on Monday night.
The Baltimore Orioles will try to rebound from a 7-1 loss at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. Pat Valaika had the lone RBI for Baltimore in the loss while DJ Stewart added a base hit as well as the Orioles had just two hits as a team in the losing effort with the rest of the team batting 0 for 19 with 4 strikeouts. Bruce Zimmermann took the loss, falling to 4-4 on the year after allowing three runs on six hits while walking and whiffing three apiece in the losing effort. The Orioles did not have a starting pitcher announced at the time that this article was posted.
The Cleveland Indians will look to rebound from a 6-2 loss at the hands of the Seattle Mariners in their last matchup. Amed Rosario posted an RBI for the Tribe while Eddie Rosario went 2 for 3 at the dish. Harold Ramirez and Bobby Bradley each had a base hit as well as the Tribe mustered up just five hits as a team in the losing effort. Shane Bieber took the loss, falling to 7-4 on the year after allowing five runs on ten hits while striking out eight over 5.2 innings of work. Jean Carlos Mejia will start here and is 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA and 10 strikeouts this season. This will be Mejia’s second career start against Baltimore.
Baltimore is 18-40 in their last 58 games overall and 21-48 in their last 69 games following a loss while the over is 5-1-1 in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record. Cleveland is 4-1 in their last 5 home games and 5-16 in their last 21 games against the AL East while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall. Baltimore is 7-15 in the last 22 meetings between these two teams and 2-8 in the last 10 meetings between these two teams in Cleveland.
It’s hard to really feel confident without knowing the pitching situation for the Orioles but word is that it could be Dean Kremer here for the Orioles and either way you slice it, the Indians are simply the better team and should get the job done against these lowly Orioles so give me the Indians and the cheap price.
