Baltimore Orioles Analysis

Japanese pitcher Tomoyu Sugano, who has been the Orioles' best pitcher this season with a 3.23 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP, will be on the mound for the team on Saturday evening. Despite a recent defeat against the Athletics, Sugano has been a solid addition to the team since being signed in the offseason. The Orioles, although showing improvement, are still 10 games out of a wildcard spot and have struggled offensively, averaging only 3.88 runs per game. Prospects Gunnar Henderson and Jackson Holliday have shown some promise, with Henderson rebounding in June and Holliday displaying more offensive prowess. Veteran Cedric Mullins has returned from the IL, but Ryan Mountcastle is currently out with an injury. The Orioles have a power ranking of 20 and are below average in both offense and defense, ranking 25th and 27th respectively. In their last three meetings, Los Angeles won two out of three against Baltimore.

Orioles on the Rise as Angels Struggle on the Road

The Los Angeles Angels have a recent record of 2-3 in their last five road games, while the Baltimore Orioles secured a series victory against the Angels in May, limiting them to only nine runs. The Orioles have shown improvement following a difficult stretch last month, winning four of their last six home games and achieving a 6-4 record in their past ten games. On the pitching side, Angels' Tyler Anderson has struggled in his recent outings, conceding a total of 18 runs in just 24.2 innings over the past five games. In contrast, Orioles' pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano has been a standout performer, holding the Angels to just one run in their previous encounter and consistently allowing two or fewer runs in eight of his last outings.
