Baltimore at Tampa Bay

If you believe in destiny then you have to like what you have seen from Baltimore this season. Last night they were held to 2 hits, struck out 15 times, but won the game 1-0. The Birds’ scenarios are many faceted, but all include them in the postseason. A win here gives them the possibility of having the best record in the AL, and homefield advantage through the AL Championship round. Tampa Bay is out of scenarios and won't be joining them in the post-season. They have the pitching, but they simply haven't been able to out-hit their good pitching. The Birds are now 38-17 in their last 55, including 10-1 after scoring 2 or less in their previous game. Hellickson has led Tampa Bay to a disappointing 1-8 mark in his last nine home starts vs. a winning team. Play on Baltimore.
