Colorado Rockies vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction

This game is going to be high-scoring. I especially don’t trust Ryan, either, and he’s going to be awful here. Kremer is also going to struggle here as he sits with an ERA of 4.31. There were only eight runs scored on Friday, but this game is going to be a lot higher. Both starting pitchers are going to give up at least five runs here, and this game is going to end up well over the total.
