Baltimore Orioles Analysis

The Baltimore Orioles have the second-best winning percentage in the American League, trailing behind the Yankees in the East division. After sweeping the Rays in a four-game series, the Orioles have won six of their last eight games. In their recent game against the Braves, they secured a 4-0 victory with a three-run home run from Jorge Mateo and strong pitching from Albert Suarez. Rookie lefty Cade Povich will start in the upcoming game, filling in for veteran lefty Cole Irvin. The Orioles are currently dealing with injuries to key players such as Kyle Stowers and Austin Hays, while Jorge Mateo, Maverick Handley, and Dean Kremer are also sidelined. Despite the setbacks, the Orioles hold the top spot for offense in the league, averaging 5.17 runs per game, and have an impressive 43-22 record overall.

Schwellenbach faces tough task against Orioles' dominant lineup in upcoming game

Schwellenbach faces a formidable challenge against the Orioles' high-powered lineup, who currently lead baseball in runs scored and home runs per game. With a team batting average approaching .250 and slugging percentage over .450, the Orioles present a formidable offensive threat. On the other hand, the Braves rookie right-handed pitcher has struggled in his two starts, giving up 12 hits and two home runs without completing five innings. In contrast, the Orioles will start Povich, a left-handed pitcher making only his second start. Although he pitched into the sixth inning in his debut against the Blue Jays, the Orioles have confidence in their bullpen, which boasts the fourth-best ERA in the league. Ultimately, the Orioles are favored to secure a victory over the Braves on Wednesday evening. Betting on the Orioles to win would be a wise choice.
