Schule's MLB BEAST of the AL EAST
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Baltimore, 09/15/2016 3:05 PM, Score: 7 - 6
Money Line: -132.00 Baltimore (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Baltimore Orioles.

The Orioles have won four of their last five, and they begin a home series versus the last place Tampa Rays Thursday.

Blake Snell will toe the rubber for the Rays, and he was brutal in his most recent start. The left-hander used 88 pitches to make it through just 2 2/3 innings, surrendering three runs on six hits and three walks in a loss at the Yankees. He's 1-4 with a 3.98 ERA in seven starts on the road, and he's struggled to throw strikes in his recent appearances.

The Orioles hand the ball to Yovani Gallardo, who has been average at best this season. Gallardo doesn't boast a lot of impressive stats, but one thing you can say about the right-hander is that he's put his team in a position to win more often than not. He's conceded more than three earned runs just once in his last seven starts. His last start was at Tampa Bay, and he allowed a pair of runs on five hits, fanning five in five innings in an 11-2 victory.

The Rays have lost nine of their last 11 versus Baltimore.

Take BAL.
