Baltimore Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles are currently in last place in the American League East division and are facing an uphill battle to secure a playoff spot. With a 29-37 record on the road and coming off a sweep by the Red Sox, their chances seem slim. However, left-handed pitcher Trevor Rogers has been a bright spot for the team, boasting a 7-2 record with a 1.40 ERA in 13 games. The Orioles have won four straight games when Rogers has pitched this season, and they have a 6-2 record when he starts on the road. Despite their struggles offensively, with a .240 team batting average, Baltimore has hit the 13th most home runs in the league. Overall, the Orioles' performance has been inconsistent, particularly in August and against National League opponents.

San Francisco Giants

San Francisco Giants are currently in third place in the National League West division, trailing the Dodgers by at least 10 games. They are also at least six games out of a wild card spot with about a month left in the season. The Giants have a winning record when playing at home and have won their last five games, as well as seven of their last 11. Their starting pitcher for Saturday's game has not been announced, indicating a possible bullpen game. The Giants roster has a solid ERA of 3.70, ranking sixth best in the league, and have allowed the fewest home runs. However, their offense is struggling with a .233 batting average, ranking third worst in the league, and scoring the sixth fewest runs. Since the All-Star break, they have a batting average of .241 and .237 in August. The Giants have a tough time hitting against American League clubs with a batting average of .223.

Trevor Rogers to Lead Baltimore Orioles in Game Against Struggling San Francisco Giants

The Baltimore Orioles are currently experiencing a slump, having lost eight of their last nine games. However, the team's top pitcher, Trevor Rogers, will be taking the mound and he has proven to be a strong performer on the road with an impressive ERA of 1.89 in away games. The San Francisco Giants have struggled offensively in the second half of the season, hitting .241 since the All-Star break and .223 against American League opponents. Anticipating a solid performance from Rogers, I predict that he will effectively stifle the Giants' lineup. Despite their placement at 17th in runs scored, the Orioles are expected to have opportunities against a Giants team planning a bullpen game. As such, it is recommended to take the Orioles to cover in this matchup.
