Play: Baltimore Orioles
Rating: 8*
I like the AL East leading Baltimore Orioles to take care of business here as they host division rival the Tampa Bay Rays. Tampa Bay is dead last in the division and enters this game on a seven-game slide with just a total of 15 runs scored during that span.
Runs will not come easy for the Rays tonight either facing Yovani Gallardo (2-1, 6.26) on the mound. The right-hander's season-ERA is extremely high, but he's coming off five solid innings of two-run ball against Toronto in his first game back after almost two months on the disabled list. Gallardo is 2-1 with a 3.06 ERA in three starts versus the Rays and has their current members limited to a .198 batting average over 81 at bats. Logan Morrison is just 1-for-19 with five strikeouts against Gallardo.
The Rays turn to Matt Moore (3-4, 4.90 ERA). He's coming off a pair of solid outings (both at home) with two runs allowed through 13 innings, but the Rays have still lost three of his last four starts. Moore is 0-2 with a 6.35 ERA in five road starts this season and 4-5 with a 3.84 ERA lifetime against the Orioles. Rays are 0-4 in Moore's last four starts against Baltimore and several Orioles batters have had their way with the left-hander, among them Adam Jones who is 11-for-27 (.407).
Rays are 2-9 in Moores last 11 starts, Orioles are 8-2 in their last 10 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.
