Arizona Diamondbacks at Baltimore Orioles
BALTIMORE (Interstat) — The Baltimore Orioles and Arizona Diamondbacks will conclude their three-game series Wednesday at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m. EDT under cloudy skies and a game-time temperature of 85 degrees.
The series is tied after a split of the first two contests. Baltimore (9-7) won a slugfest 9-7 on Monday, but Arizona (9-8) evened the set with a 4-3 victory Tuesday night.
The pitching matchup features a pair of right-handers. Baltimore’s Kyle Bradish (1-2, season ERA not provided) will take the mound looking to build on a strong outing his last time out. He will be opposed by Arizona’s Eduardo Rodriguez (1-0, season ERA not provided).
All eyes will be on the middle of each lineup, where two players are coming off historic performances. Arizona third baseman Nolan Arenado enters Wednesday riding the momentum of a two-homer, five-RBI game in Monday’s loss. He is 3 for 8 with those two homers in the series so far.
He will be countered by Baltimore’s hot-hitting Jeremiah Jackson. The second baseman also launched two home runs and drove in five runs in Monday’s victory, mirroring Arenado’s feat and powering the Orioles’ win.
According to Interstat’s game simulator, Baltimore is projected to win 6-4. The Orioles have been installed as a -1.5 run favorite, with an over/under of 8.5 total runs.
Following Wednesday’s game, the Orioles will embark on a seven-game road trip, starting Thursday in Cleveland. The Diamondbacks continue their East Coast swing, heading home to open a series against Toronto on Friday.
