Baltimore at Houston

Baltimore continued its surprising quest for a playoff spot beating the Astros 2-0 Friday night for its fourth win in five games. The Orioles got another great pitching performance and this time it was by Kyle Bradish, who allowed two hits in eight shutout innings and Baltimore has given up a total of just 14 runs its past five games. Dean Kremer starts tonight and he allowed one run on five hits in 5 1/3 innings in a 5-3 win over Boston on Sunday. The Orioles have won the last four meetings with Houston dating to last year and they are 10-3 their past 13 games after allowing two or fewer runs their previous game. Also, Baltimore is 18-6 with a posted total of 7.0-8.5 and that's the situation in this matchup. We're getting good line value with the road underdog and play the Orioles.
