The Baltimore Orioles snapped a three-game skid with a 9-6 victory at Oakland yesterday. I like their bats to stay hot and open a three-game set at San Francisco with a win Friday night.
The 23 year old Dylan Bundy (5-3, 3.05 ERA) takes the ball for Baltimore. He's been excellent lately with just five earned runs allowed through 23 2/3 innings of work in his last four starts combined. He set a career high strikeouts when he fanned nine White Sox hitters at Chicago his last time out and he has struck out at least seven in each of his last three starts.
The Giants turn to Matt Cain (4-6, 5.16). He's held the Nats scoreless through five innings in each of his last two starts, but he's had some issues with his command surrendering a total of seven walks during that stretch. Cain was the starting pitcher the last time the O's and the Giants faced each other when he took the loss in a 10-2 Giants defeat at AT&T Park, allowing three runs in seven innings, back in 2013.
The Giants won 3-1 at Miami on Wednesday in their last game. They're 0-4 in their last four games following a win and also 0-4 in their last four games following an off day. The Orioles are 7-1 in their last eight interleague road games and this looks like a good spot to back the Birds.
