The Houston Astros and Baltimore Orioles meet Tuesday in MLB action at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Astros look to build on their eight-game winning streak. The Orioles need a win after losing 11 of their last 12 games.
The Houston Astros have scored 25 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in seven of their last eight games. The Astros have won eight straight games when scoring four or more runs. Yuli Gurriel leads the Astros with 77 hits and 50 RBI while Carlos Correa and Michael Brantley have combined for 151 hits and 70 RBI. Zack Greinke gets the ball, and he is 7-2 with a 3.74 ERA and 66 strikeouts this season. Greinke is 2-2 with a 5.32 ERA and 42 strikeouts in his career against the Orioles.
The Baltimore Orioles have scored 13 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last 10 games. The Orioles have lost five of their last eight games when scoring four or more runs. Cedric Mullins leads the Orioles with 86 hits and 25 RBI while Trey Mancini and Ryan Mountcastle have combined for 135 hits and 92 RBI. Jorge Lopez gets the ball, and he is 2-8 with a 5.95 ERA and 65 strikeouts this season. This will be Lopez’s second career game against the Astros.
The Astros are 5-2 in their last 7 road games and 16-5 in their last 21 overall. The Orioles are 2-6 in their last 8 Tuesday games and 15-39 in their last 54 overall. The over is 6-1 in Astros last 7 overall. The over is 5-1 in Orioles last 6 overall. The Astros are 10-3 in the last 13 meetings in Baltimore and 21-5 in the last 26 meetings.
The Astros are one of the hotter teams in the league and we know what they’re capable of when they get on these hot streaks. The Orioles are fade material until further notice, as this team is doing nothing right at the moment. Two teams heading in different directions. You can argue this line should be a bit steeper. Give me the Astros and reasonable price.
