AFTERNOON DESTRUCTION (2:10 EST PITCH!)

Money Line: 200.00 Baltimore (Away)
Result: Loss
9* ORIOLES (DESTRUCTION)

Favorites have been hitting at an alarming rate to open up the 2022 MLB season. The dogs start barking this weekend though. I like the Orioles to bounce back here vs. the overachieving Sonny Gray fro myestreday's 3-2 series opening loss. It was the Orioles 3rd straight loss, and note that they're 6-2 in their last 8 after 3 or more losses in a row. Minnesota broke a 2 game slide with yesterday's win. Hard to say too many negative things here about Gray, who is 4-1 with a 2.17 ERA (he's a pedestrian 6-5 with a 4.53 ERA in 11 career outings vs. Baltimore.) Jordan Lyles is 4-7 with a 4.94 ERA for the Orioles, but I like the veteran to match his counterpart inning for inning. Over 11 1/3's innings vs. the Twins Lyles has walked 3 and struck out 11. The value swings to the undervalued underdog in this matchup; the play is the Orioles!
