Baltimore at Seattle

Sometimes when you look over a game, you try to seek out and play against a team that is in their worst possible position to win. The Orioles fit that description tonight. They have played well at home, but on the road this young team has a tremendous drop-off offensively. The O's plate over five runs per game at home, but the road tally is just 3.8 and they are off a whitewash last night, which is their second problem. They are at their worst against left-hand pitching. The O's are scoring 5.3 against right handers, but just 3.8 against lefties, and face one of the top lefties in the game in Eric Bedard tonight. Bedard is 39-22 over the last four years, so I'm going with the Mariners in this one.
