T.M. Selection: Baltimore Orioles

I like the Baltimore Orioles to win this game against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. The Orioles are still fighting to stay in the playoff race, and they really need to win a lot of games to end the season. There isn't many teams in baseball that you would rather play than the Nationals, so they are in luck here. Dean Kremer (6-5, 3.23 ERA) will take the mound for Baltimore on Tuesday. He's been great for them all year and should be solid here today. He hasn't faced the Nationals yet this year, but in his last road game he was stellar. Giving up only one earned run in 7.2 innings against a very stacked Astros lineup. Now, looking at Washington, they've really struggled all year. Since giving up Juan Soto and Josh Bell, their lineup has just been a disaster. Not only is their hitting bad, but they also have one of the worst pitching groups in the league. Cory Abbott (0-2, 4.22 ERA) will be their starter here today. Although he's been decent out of the bullpen lately, he's only started 5 games all year and has never won a game. I expect the Orioles to rock him on Tuesday as they need to win this game badly.

T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Orioles
