Today’s matchup is between the Tampa Bay Rays (31-18) and the Baltimore Orioles (22-27). The Rays have won 3 of their last 5 games & the Orioles have won 1 of their last 5 games.
The Rays are starting Blake Snell (LHP), on the mound who is 4-1 on the season pitching a 3.23 ERA, 4.38 FIP, .308 wOBA, K% of 30.9%, BB% of 8.6%, 88.7 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.23 WHIP in 39 innings pitched.
The Orioles are starting Dean Kremer (RHP), who is 1-0 on the season with a 1.64 ERA, 2.29 FIP, .224 wOBA, K% of 31.8%, BB% of 13.6%, 87.7 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.00 WHIP in 11.0 innings pitched.
The Rays are the 2nd best in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Orioles are 9th.
On the hitting side, the Rays have a .330 wOBA and a .332 OBP. The Orioles have a .325 wOBA and a .321 OBP. The Rays have 66 HRs this season while the Orioles have 66 HRs.
I like the Rays to win it here, the Orioles have the better starting pitcher but I believe the Rays will turn it on once they put in their reliever.
