The Baltimore Orioles and Oakland Athletics meet Tuesday in MLB action at Oakland Coliseum. The Baltimore Orioles need a win to rebound from a 3-7 record. The Oakland Athletics look for a win after winning six of their last nine games.

The Baltimore Orioles have scored eight runs in their last three games and three or fewer runs in eight of their last 10 games. The Orioles are 2-6 this season when scoring three or fewer runs. Ryan Mountcastle leads the Orioles with 10 hits and 3 RBI, while Trey Mancini and Jorge Mateo have combined for 16 hits and 4 RBI. The Baltimore Orioles didn’t announce a starting pitcher at the time this article was published.

The Oakland Athletics have scored 15 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in seven of their last nine games. The Athletics have won six of their last seven games when scoring four or more runs. Sean Murphy leads the Athletics with 11 hits and 8 RBI, while Tony Kemp and Cristian Pache have combined for 19 hits and 7 RBI. Cole Irvin gets the ball, and he is 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA and 6 strikeouts this season. This will be Irvin’s second career game against the Orioles.

The Orioles are 14-53 in their last 67 road games and 17-49 in their last 66 overall. The Athletics are 1-4 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series and 1-5 in their last 6 overall. The under is 20-6-2 in Orioles last 28 overall. The under is 6-2 in Athletics last 8 home games. The Orioles are 22-50 in the last 72 meetings in Oakland and 3-9 in the last 12 meetings.

The Baltimore Orioles didn’t announce a starting pitcher at the time I published this article, but I’m not sure if it matters. The O’s offense cant put runs on the board. The Oakland Athletics are playing better than expected through their first handful of games and while Irvin has struggled through two starts, he has a hot offense backing him up. We can’t say the same for the Orioles. Give me the A’s.
