Oakland at Baltimore

The Baltimore Orioles may easily be the most under-the-radar team in MLB. It is hard to forget their well documented streak of pitching futility, running off 20 straight games where they allowed five runs or more. That streak had them left for dead in terms of playoff potential, but they have risen to become a genuine contender in the bunched up AL. Oakland is 54-70 on the season, a small market team, is youth dependent, and right now they are trying to develop players on the big league level. It has been 12 games since the A's have won more than one in a row. And off a win is when they have been at their worst, allowing 5.51 runs per game. Play on Baltimore.
