The Orioles are coming into this game with a 24-33 record overall and they are 9-18 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a win in their last game. They just won their 1-game series against the Chicago Cubs 1-0 completing the sweep after a few postponed games due to rain and they are playing the 2nd game of a 4-game series with the Royals on Friday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Friday with the series opener still to be played on Thursday. Jordan Lyles is the starting pitcher for them on Thursday while Bruce Zimmermann will be on the mound for them here on Friday. He is 2-4 with a 4.87 ERA this season. His team lost 4 of their last 5 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 5 ER, 0 HRs, and 0 BB with 1 K on 10 hits in 5.2 IP against the Cleveland Guardians. They scored 9 runs in their last series averaging 9 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 3 runs against them averaging 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Royals are coming into this game with a 18-37 record overall and they are 10-19 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 3 game losing streak that they were on. They just lost their 3-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 4-game series with the Royals on Friday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Friday with the series opener still to be played on Thursday. Kris Bubic is the starting pitcher for them on Thursday while Jonathan Heasley will be on the mound for them here on Friday. He is 0-3 with a 4.62 ERA this season. His team lost all 5 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 earned runs, 1 homer, and 2 BB with 5 strikeouts on 7 hits in 6 innings played against the Houston Astros. They scored 8 runs in their last series averaging just under 3 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 19 runs against them averaging just over 6 runs allowed per game.

 

The Orioles are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing much better in their recent games as they have been scoring a lot more runs which is leading to more wins for them. They have not been a very good team on the road this season but they have been hitting so well recently and they are going up against a Royals team that has the worst record in the MLB right now. The Royals have really been struggling to hit the ball recently and they have not been scoring many runs in their games at all. They are at home here but that has not helped them and they have Heasley on the mound here who has been bad this season. Zimmermann has not been great for the Orioles either but if this game comes down to who can hit the ball more and score more runs instead of a pitching duel, than the Orioles are going to win this game with how they have been playing recently. The best bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.
