The Orioles have more power than Oakland, which could factor with the wind blowing out. Baltimore also is familiar with Oakland starter Jason Hammel, who pitched for the Orioles from 2012-2013.

The Orioles are one of the best road teams winning 26 of 46 away games. They are 7-2 in their last nine road contests and have Wei-Yin Chen on the hill. He's won his past two starts and is 3-0 with a 1.00 ERA and 25 strikeouts in 27 innings in four all-time starts versus Oakland.

Baltimore has won 72 percent of Chen's last 18 starts versus foes with a winning record.
