The Orioles are coming into this game with a 24-35 record overall and they are 9-20 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game losing streak. 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 series finale of a 4-game series with the Royals on Sunday. This will be the 4th game of the series on Sunday with the 3rd game still to be played on Saturday. Tyler Wells is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Dean Kremer will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 0-1 with a 6.23 ERA this season. His team lost their only game this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 1 HR, and 1 BB with 3 Ks on 5 hits in 4.1 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 20-37 record overall and they are 12-19 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 3 game winning streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 4-game series with the Royals on Sunday. This will be the 4th game of the series on Sunday with the 3rd game still to be played on Saturday. Daniel Lynch is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Brad Keller will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 1-7 with a 4.19 ERA this season. His team lost their last 6 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 earned runs, 0 homers, and 2 BB with 4 strikeouts on 7 hits in 6 innings played against the Toronto Blue Jays. 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 Royals are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They have been very bad all season but recently they have been starting to win more games and they have finally been hitting the ball much better as well as they have been scoring runs in these wins. They just won the first two games of this series against the Orioles and the Orioles, who were playing very well for a little spurt, have seemed to cool off now as they have generally been a bad team on the road this season. Keller has not been great for the Royals this season and he is starting in this game but he is still more reliable than Kremer who pitched in 1 game this season and was awful, but is also coming off of an injury here after missing some time. The Royals have been heating up now and they will likely continue while the Orioles are trending in the opposite direction. The best bet here is on the Royals to win this game.

"I thought he got hurt again today with his off-speed stuff. For me, it was a lot of elevated off-speed in the first and then just hung a bad slider to Melendez." - Brandon Hyde after his team’s loss against the Royals on Friday.

 

 

"Talk about how you have to feel it, see it and all the pieces have to come together. The extra-base hits, the situational hitting, good baserunning and good defense and our starter doing what he did today." - Mike Matheny after his team’s win against the Orioles on Friday.
