Seattle at Baltimore

It looks like the Baltimore Orioles are poised to challenge for the AL East pennant. The Orioles are 28-14 to start the season. Many thought this team as going to be hitting first, but the Oriole team pitching has been outstanding, and I think that will be the difference in this one. Seattle lost the opener here 9-2. It marked the 12th time in 15 games that the Baltimore pitching staff allowed three or fewer runs, while the offense continues to produce better than five runs a game. The math and odds don't work here. The Mariners have allowed five or more runs in seven of their last 15 outings. Make the play on Baltimore.
