Texas at Baltimore

All the buzz is about Josh Hamilton and his record-setting 18 total bases last game and Texas' two big wins against the O's. But let's not forget that Baltimore is still 19-11 on the season after those losses, and playing at home here. In Game 1 of the double-header Wei-Yin Chen toes the rubber for Baltimore and he brings in a very good ERA of 2.76. In his two home starts this season, Chen has allowed just 3 earned runs in nearly 13 innings. Texas is a very good team, but no matter. The Orioles are 11-3 this season vs. winning teams and 12-6 vs. teams allowing under 4.8 runs per game. The fact is that Baltimore is 16-10 this season as an underdog. I like their chances here at home in Game 1. Play on Baltimore.
