00:00Reunion today in the trop, Zach Eflin traded for by Baltimore
00:07from the Rays at the trade deadline will make his third
00:10start with the O's but against his former team in Tampa. The
00:15O's need to keep winning games. There's a battle for the top
00:17spot in the American League East. Baltimore a slight road
00:21favorite today at minus 134 total of seven and a half. Now
00:24Eflin has given up five earned runs in total in the two starts
00:28he has made for Baltimore but he and the O's have won both of
00:32those first two starts and a Baltimore jersey. Here's what
00:35you like too, right? Oh, Zach Eflin on the road. Typically,
00:38you pitch better at home. Well, technically, is this not a home
00:40game per se for Zach Eflin going back to play in Tampa Bay. So,
00:44that's something to use. If you're out there saying, I love
00:46those home road splits. Don't use them in this one cuz
00:48technically, this was his home ballpark and understands how to
00:51pitch there and also, yesterday, eight innings, this team, the
00:54Baltimore Orioles was held down before Blake breaking out in the
00:57ninth inning. I look for more damage today. Let's tell it's
01:00not a great pitcher and if you take a look at his last 60 days,
01:02a 108 XFIT minus which is slightly above average but an
01:05ERA approaching closer to five. This is a team the Baltimore
01:08Orioles has done very well against right-handed pitching.
01:11So, for me, I think Baltimore wins this game and I do think
01:14you have some legitimate RBI props here. You know, I love
01:17myself a little bit of Anthony Santander. I mean, 394, Iso
01:20power number two is this. Eighty-one at bats against
01:22right-handed pitching. The better team is Baltimore. They
01:24lost yesterday. They're gonna win today.
