Baltimore at Atlanta

It's the eighth consecutive road game for Baltimore. Earl Weaver used to say "You're only as good as the next day's starting pitcher" and starter Dean Kremer (6.67 ERA) hasn't been very good with batters hitting .314 off him. The Orioles are 17-35 in interleague games against winning teams. And any MLB team that just swept a three-game series versus a divisional rival is 9-38. Atlanta is on an 8-2 run despite playing the last six on the road. The offense is fifth in runs scored, third in on-base percentage, and second in slugging, while the pitching is fifth in team ERA (3.51) and sixth in strikeouts. They're glad to have Max Fried (0.45 ERA) back and the Braves are 84-38 when he starts, including 45-22 when Fried starts against winning teams. Play Atlanta.
