The Orioles are coming into this game with a 42-22 record overall and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 3 straight games and have a chance to sweep the Rays in this game. They are going up against a Rays team that is 31-34 this season and just has not been the same team that has dominated the AL East over the last few years. They have lost their last 3 straight games and have not scored more than 3 runs in any of those games, also allowing at least 5 runs in each. Corbin Burnes is starting for the Orioles in this game and he is 6-2 with a 2.26 ERA this season. He has allowed just 1 earned run total in his last 2 starts and has allowed 1 earned run or less in 4 of his last 5 starts, pitching at least 6 innings in all of those as well. He also has not allowed more than 3 earned runs in any of his 13 starts this season as he has been very consistent. Ryan Pepiot is starting for the Rays in this game and he is 4-2 with a 3.96 ERA this season. He has not been bad this season, but he has allowed at least 3 earned runs in 3 of his last 4 starts, allowing at least 2 earned runs in each of those. Those are not bad numbers at all, but those are not great considering how the Orioles have a very potent offense that has been scoring a lot of runs in this series while the Rays have one of the worst offenses in the league right now, struggling to score in this series as well. The Orioles are the hot team right now and they have been scoring the runs recently while the Rays have not, and the Orioles have a much better starter in this game that will take them deep into the game without giving up many runs. The Orioles will win this game and sweep the series.
