The Devil Rays want to avoid a repeat of last game's result - an 8-4 loss to the Orioles - when the two teams do battle again on Wednesday. They hope Casey Fossum can be the skid-stopper for them.
The Orioles start Daniel Cabrera, 0-1, 47.37 ERA. His last trip was a loss, a 14-8 team loss against the Red Sox, when he threw 1 1/3 innings, allowing 7 runs on 3 hits.
Sporting a 4-4 overall record and a 4-4 mark within the division, the Orioles aim to knock the Devil Rays (3-5 in the division) for a loss.
The betting line opened as a pick'em in this game, while the total opened at 10.5. Baltimore is 4-4 on the year, while the Devil Rays are 3-5.
Sam Perlozzo's troops went to Tampa Bay last game and came away with an 8-4 win, a game that went over 9. Oddsmakers had them as pick in that one.
Expect Baltimore to be tough at the plate and not sink themselves by striking out a lot. The Orioles batters are in the top three in the league, fanning just 5.4 times per game.
Some trends to consider:
Baltimore is 7-17-2 OU in its last 26 away
Baltimore is 2-5-0 OU in its last 7 games away against Tampa Bay
Baltimore is 2-4-0 OU in its last 6 games
Tampa Bay is 9-3-0 OU in its last 12 at home
Tampa Bay is 6-12-0 SU in its last 18 games after scoring 4 to 6 runs
Tampa Bay is 2-5-0 OU in its last 7 games at home against Baltimore
