Baltimore Orioles
On Saturday, Tyler Wells will make his second start of the season for the Orioles after evading danger in his season debut against the Angels. Despite allowing four runs, including a homer, Wells showed promise with his performance. The veteran righty had an impressive season in 2023 and is expected to deliver another strong outing. Baltimore is off to a good start on their road trip, winning two out of three games against the Royals. With solid pitching and strong offensive performance, the Orioles are proving to be a competitive team early in the season. Anthony Santander has been a standout player with his strong start, while Cedric Mullins is looking to find his rhythm at the plate. Currently ranked 7th in offense and 10th in defense, Baltimore is showing potential to be a top team in the league this season.
