Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles 5/10/2023 Previews, Predictions and Picks
The Tampa Bay Rays will go against the Baltimore Orioles in MLB action in Oriole Park at Camden Yards, MD, on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, at 6:35 PM ET. With their victory on Monday, Tampa is now 9-2 in their previous 11 games. Additionally, it was their eighth shutout of the year. Even though the offense, which ranks second in runs per game with over 6.00, only scored three runs, it was enough. Two solo home runs, which increased their league-leading total, would have been adequate as well. Only a few teams have more stolen bases, and no club has a greater batting average, on-base percentage, or slugging percentage. In Tampa Bay, Yandy Diaz, Wander Franco, and Randy Arozarena are in charge of a potent lineup.
The Rays’ collective ERA is the best in the league. With the third-lowest ERA in the league and the most innings worked, Tampa’s bullpen is excellent, as they became famed for. Although their relievers’ strikeout percentage is alarmingly low (28th), they make up for it with a strong ground ball rate (6th) and a low HR/9 (3rd). Yonny Chirinos won’t want to damage the fact that they have a lower starting pitcher ERA than every other team this season.
- The Tampa Bay Rays are 15-5 SU in their last 20 games.
- Tampa Bay is 6-2 SU in their last 8 games on the road.
- The total stayed UNDER in 5 of Tampa Bay’s last 7 games on the road against Baltimore.
Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles 5/10/2023 Previews, Predictions and Picks
The Baltimore Orioles have had a rough go of it in the past few games, dropping three straight games while only managing to score six runs. Despite ranking sixth in runs per game, they struggled to get their offense going in the first game of their series against the Rays. However, the Orioles have been a force to be reckoned with for most of the season. They rank third in both walk rate and stolen base percentage, and have hit 41 home runs in 35 games, ranking 11th in the league. Their offensive prowess poses a challenge for most pitchers.
However, the Orioles’ weakness lies in their pitching, particularly with their starters. Going into this game, their starters had an ERA over 5.00. Dean Kremer, who will be starting this game, has a 5.80 ERA on the mound. While he pitched 6.0 innings with only one run allowed in his last start against the Braves, his struggles have come at home. In 15.0 innings at Camden Yards, Kremer has given up 12 runs. In his home starts, he has only recorded 10 strikeouts but surrendered 17 hits, six walks, and five home runs.
- The total stayed UNDER in 5 of the Orioles’ last 7 games at home against Tampa Bay.
- Baltimore is 12-4 SU in their last 16 games against an opponent in the American League.
- The total has gone UNDER in 5 of the Baltimore Orioles’ last 6 games played on a Wednesday.
Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles. The MLB pick for this game is the Tampa Bay Rays. The Orioles are in trouble if Dean Kremer keeps struggling at home, especially against a tough opponent. It’s hard to score four or more runs against the best pitchers in MLB. The Rays have a strong bullpen that can take over if Yonny Chirinos falters. This game looks like the Rays will get an early lead and keep it. Bet on the top team to win by a big margin. The Tampa Bay Rays will dominate with a predicted score of 7-3.
