The Orioles are coming into this game playing very well in their recent games as they are the best team in the AL East right now and have one of the better records in the MLB this season. They already have 74 wins this year and have won 3 of their last 4 as well as 4 of their last 6 games. They did lose last night but they will be hungry to bounce back in this game and win this series, especially since the Rays are getting hot again and only 3 games behind the Orioles for the lead of the AL East. They are going up against a Padres team that won 10-3 against the Orioles last night but other than that their offense has been awful recently and they have not been playing well. They have lost 3 of their last 4 as well as 7 of their last 9 games and their offense has scored just 1 run or less in 4 of their last 7 games. Dean Kremer is starting for the Orioles here and he is 11-4 with a 4.50 ERA this season. He has been pitching very well recently as he has allowed 2 earned runs or less in 3 of his last 4 as well as 5 of his last 7 starts. He has also been very good on the road this season as he has allowed just 1 earned run or less in each of his last 3 as well as allowing just 2 earned runs or less in 6 of his last 7 road starts. The Orioles also always get up for Kremer in their games as they have won their last 7 straight as well as 10 of their last 11 games with him starting and their offense always scores runs in those games as they have scored at least 5 runs in 6 of his last 7 as well as 9 of his last 11 starts, scoring at least 9 runs in 2 of his last 3 as well. The Orioles have a very good offense and a very good team that has been playing much better than the Padres recently. Blake Snell is starting for the Padres here and he is 9-8 with a 2.63 ERA this season. He has been pitching well all year but recently he has allowed 5 earned runs between his last 2 starts and the Padres have not had a strong offense this season either. He is going to struggle to shut down this hot Orioles offense while the Padres offense continues to struggle here. The Orioles will win this game.
