Baltimore Orioles (65-46) vs. Cleveland Guardians (67-42)
The Baltimore Orioles have proven a formidable force this season, boasting an.254 batting average with 556 runs scored on 965 hits for an on-base percentage of.318, boasting 172 homers at the plate while their on-base percentage sits at 318 with an on-base percentage standing at.318; their slugging percentage sits at 453 while on defense they boast an admirable 3.85 ERA/WHIP combination holding opponents to an impressive batting average of just.234 which highlights their superb overall performance both offensively and defensively. These impressive statistics bear witness to both teams strong performance both offensively and defensively!
The Cleveland Guardians have also had an outstanding year. Boasting an average batting average of.241, they have scored 503 runs while recording 860 hits to account for 860 innings played this year – 12 less homers (123) compared to Orioles but with on-base percentage at 312 and slugging percentage of 402, making for well-rounded offensive capability. Furthermore, their pitching staff has proven more successful, boasting 3.63 ERA/WHIP of 1.21 while striking out 953 batters while only allowing an opponent batting average of 231. These numbers represent solid defensive effort making them tough opponents to face for any team this season!
Zach Eflin (6-7, 4.11 ERA) vs. Joey Cantillo (0-0, 8.1 ERA)
Zach Eflin has had a varied season pitching for the Orioles. Over 116 innings pitched he has posted an unimpressive record with an ERA of 4.11 while striking out 94 batters while issuing only 13 walks. While Eflin conceded 15 homers as concerns, his ability to limit walks remains significant as is his 1.19 WHIP which suggests general effectiveness at managing baserunners effectively. Eflin’s experience and power will prove instrumental against a disciplined Guardians lineup in this game.
Joey Cantillo has little MLB experience this year and an ERA of 8.1. However, his WHIP of 2.1 indicates control issues; four hits, three walks, and two homers were given up during his brief pitching stint – potentially being detrimental against an Orioles offense which features powerful bats he will look to make amends by showing improvement from his rough start. But Cantillo will remain optimistic and look to prove himself once more!
