(MLB) LA Angels vs. Baltimore,
Money Line: -139.00 Baltimore (Home)
Result: Loss
The Angels are coming into this game with a 0-2 record to start the season and they have been outscored by the Orioles 24-7 in those 2 games. The Orioles have scored at least 11 runs in both games while the Angels have not scored more than 4 runs in either. Reid Detmers is starting for the Angels here and he has been good in Spring Training this year as he was 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA, allowing 5 earned runs in a little over 18 innings pitched. He has been pitching well but the bullpen has not been pitching well in these first 2 games so even with a good performance from Detmers, the Angels are going to give up runs against these hot bats on the Orioles. The Orioles also have Tyler Wells starting here and he has also been pitching very well in Spring training this year. He was 3-0 with a 1.26 ERA as he allowed 2 earned runs in a little over 14 innings pitched. Wells has been much better than Detmers in Spring Training this season and he was one of the better starters in the rotation for the Orioles last season as he was 7-6 with a 3.64 ERA. The Orioles already have the advantage with their starter here but the bullpen has also been much better and the Orioles will be hungry to open the season with a sweep while keeping their offense hot as they need to get off to a good start in such a tough division. The Orioles will win this game at home.
