Orioles Preview

The Great American Ball Park will play host to a Sunday afternoon MLB interleague clash between the Baltimore Orioles and the Cincinnati Reds. Be ready for the baseball season with all of our MLB predictions. The Orioles (42-48) have dropped 25 of their first 43 road games and are 12.5 games out of first place in the AL East Division standings. Last night, C Samuel Basallo’s three-run blast in the opening frame propelled Baltimore to an 8-5 road victory against Cincinnati.

Twenty-nine year old righty Kyle Bradish (5-8 3.77 ERA) will head to the hill for the Orioles in this contest. Through 93 innings of work, Bradish ranks in the top 30 with 96 strikeouts and must improve on a subpar 1.45 WHIP.

Reds Preview

The Cincinnati Reds have lost eight of their previous 11 games and are trying to climb out of the NL Central Division cellar. During Saturday’s home loss, Cincinnati veteran 3B Eugenio Suarez went 2-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs. SP Hunter Greene (0-1) was tagged for eight runs in three plus innings and took the loss for the Reds (40-48), who fell to 19-24 at home.

Cincinnati skipper Terry Francona will turn to twenty-eight year old lefty Nick Lodolo (2-2 5.05 ERA) on Sunday. Last time out, Lodolo fired five shutout frames and fanned four batters during a 5-3 road loss against Milwaukee.
