Cole Irvin (2-3, 5.57 ERA) vs George Kirby (10-8, 3.32 ERA)
Expect Cole Irvin to start this match for Baltimore and that he will be tasked with neutralizing the scorching-hot Mariners offense. It would be fascinating to see how long Irvin lasts in this one because he hasn’t pitched more than four innings since July 18th against the Dodgers.
In this game against the Orioles, George Kirby will start and continue his outstanding play from earlier in the season. The fact that George Kirby is the Mariners’ ace and has an unrivaled ability to shut down batters as the season progresses becomes increasingly obvious. This season, Kirby made 22 starts, got 10 victories, posted a 3.32 ERA, a 1.05 WHIP, and struck out 124 hitters.
MLB Odds/Point Spread: Seattle Mariners -160, Total Odds: 8.0
This American League matchup between two hot teams is going to be thrilling. The Orioles have been one of baseball’s top teams and aim to take control of this game from the first inning. The Mariners aim to step up at home. Adley Rutschman, Anthony Santander, and the rest of the lineup should make contact and power the ball against the Mariners’ pitching to easily drive in runs for the Orioles, who average 4.93 runs per game. With Cole Irvin stepping up and pitching many quality innings to give the bullpen a chance to finish the game with the lead, the Orioles should contain the Mariners’ offense, which only scores 4.55 runs per game on average. The Orioles must triumph for better odds as road dogs.
