Baltimore was able to get a win on Monday afternoon in game one of this series, and they have won three games in a row. The Orioles are 9-15 at home this year, while the Cardinals are 11-16 on the road. St. Louis has been a bit inconsistent in their last six games, and they are starting Pallante, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in two of his last three starts. The O’s are going with Sugano, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five. Baltimore has some momentum for the first time this season, and Sugano has been very good, so I like the Orioles to win here.
