This is an 8* play on the Baltimore Orioles.

We feel that Andrew Cashner and the Orioles offer great value at the outright upset in this one. Baltimore fell 3-2 in Houston last night, while New York beat the Rays 7-2. Cashner was a solid 11-11 with a 3.40 ERA last year, but he's 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA after one game this season. Cashner was shelled for five runs in his team's 6-2 loss to Minnesota, striking out five. Note that the veteran was 10-9 with a 3.54 ERA in all "night" contests last year. The home side counters with Masahiro Tanaka (1-0, 1.50), who finished 13-12 with a 4.74 ERA last year. Tanaka looked sharp in giving up one run and striking out eight in a 4-2 win over the Jays on Friday. So far these teams have been polar opposites, but we're not going to overreact to one bad start from Cashner, or one good one from Tanaka. BALTIMORE is hungry after a poor start to the season and we think it'll come out on top on the National stage in the Big Apple. Play on the Orioles.
