I was humbled Monday night with a surprise win by the Guardians over the Orioles. The Orioles are too good for this to happen two nights in a row and they will be burning for revenge. Expected starter for the Guardians, Quantrill, will be no match for Gibson. Quantrill has only won 1 of his last 6. In his last start he lasted 4 innings and gave up 6 runs against the woeful White Sox. At night he is 0-2 with a 5.13 ERA. On the other hand Gibson has been hot in his last 2, winning both and only giving up 1 earned run between the two games. And at night he is 5-2 this season with a 2.84 ERA.

In the Guardians win Monday night they used two of their bullpen aces while the Orioles rested their top relievers from their formidable bullpen as they seemed to throw in the towel.

At the plate the Guardians have been struggling this season with the 28th avg and the 30th OPS in the majors. The Orioles are a respectable 15th and 12th respectively.

Even though I am not picking the over/under for this game it is interesting to note that when the total is set at 8-8.5 the Orioles are 21-7 while the Guardians are 11-12 this season. It all adds up to a solid pick for the Orioles on the Money Line.
