BALTIMORE (Interstat) — The Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles open a three-game series Tuesday at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, with both American League East clubs looking to build momentum in the final week of a losing season.

The Rays (76-80) arrive after splitting a four-game set with the Boston Red Sox, including a 7-3 win on Sunday. Christopher Morel drove in four runs and starter Joe Boyle struck out nine over 4 1/3 innings in the victory.

The Orioles (73-83) are coming off a tough series against the New York Yankees, losing 7-1 in 10 innings on Sunday despite a strong six-inning, one-run outing from starter Kyle Bradish. Catcher Samuel Basallo provided the lone run with a home run.

This season series has been marked by volatility. The teams have split their last 10 meetings, with neither club winning more than two consecutive games. The matchups have featured dramatic swings, including a 22-8 Orioles win on June 27 and an 11-1 Rays victory the following day.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a close contest, favoring the Rays 5-4. Tampa Bay is installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of -1.5. The over/under is set at 9 runs.

Following this series, the Rays will travel to Toronto for three games, while the Orioles will head to New York for a three-game set against the Yankees to conclude the regular season. First pitch for Tuesday’s game is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. EDT.
