Reds @ Orioles
Each of these teams has two cappers backing them. There is little edge we can find when it comes to the recent head-to-head matchups regardless of where the games are being played.
The Orioles activated LHP John Means (elbow) from the 15-day injured list and he is set to start Saturday's game.
Andrew Abbott has faced this Orioles lineup just 15 times, giving up two hits. He's 1-3 with a 3.27 ERA.
Abbott gave up four runs over five innings Sunday in a loss to the Rangers but allowed just one run on two hits in 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Phillies.
Prior to that, Abbott pitched well in a tough-luck loss against the Mariners with just two runs allowed.
The MLB baseball odds for this game has Cincinnati at -117.

Cincinnati Ball Park Easiest to Hit Homers"Remember how the Reds' relievers are the worst at inducing grounders? That will bite them in the butt against a Baltimore batting order that has bashed more home runs than any other team. Great American Ball Park is the easiest venue to homer in so that matchup is a nightmare. "John Means is an unknown for Baltimore when it comes to effectiveness, but his first start since last September won't last long. That just means more innings for a bullpen that's ninth in FIP. The Orioles can slow down Cincinnati enough to let the late comeback happen. Take the Orioles to win on the road." Source: Winners and Whiners |
Rangers @ Royals
The Royals are playing really good baseball this season while the Rangers are stuck around the .500 mark.
The Rangers are 5-2 against the Royals over the last seven games with KC winning the first of this current series last night.
Dane Dunning (4.13 ERA, 3-2) has faced this Royals line up in 40 at bats with just 8 hits allowed (.200).
Dunning yielded two runs — one earned — in 5 1/3 innings and struck out 10 against the Reds in a win Sunday.
Prior to that, he yielded four runs in 4 1/3 innings Tuesday in a loss to the Mariners.
He had two wins and a quality start prior to that bad showing.
Veteran Michael Wacha starts for KC. He's 1-3 with a 4.24 ERA coming into this game.
These Rangers have only had 28 at bats against Wacha with 8 hits allowed.
Wacha allowed four runs on nine hits in 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Tigers following a win in his previous start.
Angels @ Guardians
The Angels have won the last three games versus the Guardians.
A number of solid cappers were backing Cleveland this day at home as a -126 favorite.
Reid Detmers for the Angels is 3-2 with a 3.12 ERA.
Detmers struggled in Sunday afternoon’s loss to the Twins, giving up five runs on nine hits over his five frames. He had a loss in his prior start and, before that, allowed just two runs -- one earned -- with four strikeouts across 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Rays.
Detmers has permitted 11 hits in 33 at bats against the current Guardians roster.
Ben Lively is 0-1 with a 2.30 ERA.
Lively allowed one run on four hits in 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Braves on Sunday. Prior to that, he struck out seven and allowed just one run over 6 1/3 innings against Boston. He had given up just three runs on eight hits coming into that one with a 14/1 K/BB ratio across 11 1/3 innings (two starts) since returning from the injured list.
Cleveland has failed to score more than 3 runs in six of their last nine games overall. The UNDER looks appealing here.
