Baltimore
The Orioles are 19-48 in their last 67 games versus the AL East. Baltimore is 1-6 in its last seven openers of a doubleheader.
Prediction:
Tampa Bay has the pitching advantage once again with the highly hyped two-way player McKay on the mound, while the Orioles are turning to a journeyman in Brooks. The Rays are clearly putting a lot of emphasis on this series as they look to make up ground in the AL East standings. I’m definitely siding with the visitors again here.
