Orioles vs. Angels Prediction
I’m on the Orioles here. Things got a little bit hairy for the Orioles in the later innings on Monday, but the O’s pulled it out and I think they have an easier time here. Canning’s been nothing short of a disaster so far this season, and Rodriguez has been one of Baltimore’s best starters going back to the second half of last season since rejoining the rotation. The Angels’ offense continues to be hit or miss, and you need all the help you can get with the issues that Canning’s had up to this point, and with how little G-Rod’s given up on the other side. I think Baltimore gets it done on Tuesday, so give me the O’s on the road.
