#974 ASA PLAY ON Baltimore Orioles -145 over San Francisco Giants, Thursday at 1:10 PM ET - Orioles have lost the first two games of this series and we look for them to get payback and avoid the sweep Thursday. Baltimore has the pitching edge here with Zach Eflin being stronger at home this season and Logan Webb being weaker on the road this season. Not only that, Eflin is in much better current form than Webb. Note that Eflin has a 2.63 ERA at home this season and also had a 1.40 ERA in August and has a 2.33 ERA so far this month. Webb, on the other hand, is 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA this month plus on the road this season he has a 4.30 ERA. Webb has been getting hit very hard this month. The Orioles have lost 3 straight but are 3-0 the last 3 times they have entered a game on a losing streak of 3 or more games. They have not lost more than 3 straight since prior to the All Star break. They can hit Webb - the way he is going right now - and that will change everything for this Orioles lineup after having struggled of late. As for the Giants, they have not won 3 straight games since mid-August and had lost 20 of 31 games prior to taking the first two games of this series. Based on all of the above, look for the Orioles to avoid the sweep. Lay it. Take Baltimore!
