Orioles vs Angels Prediction

As I continue to say, I’m not in the business of backing the Angels, one of the worst franchises in all of sports. Detmers has been hit or miss, but he’s still allowed 24 hits and 13 runs in his last 25.1 innings. The Angels have lost 5 straight games Detmers has pitched. The Orioles are in the thick of the playoff race, and while Rogers has been shaky at times, he’s coming off a July where he allowed 28 hits and 8 earned runs in 30.1 innings. Rogers has allowed 9 earned runs in his last 43.2 innings. I’m laying the cheap price with the O’s.
