Pick

I’m backing the Orioles here. I just don’t trust Michael Kopech in this matchup and Baltimore is definitely playing well right now, especially on the road and finding their groove offensively. The White Sox also have struggles in the bullpen, so even if Kopech has a decent outing, nothing is safe. I’ll back the Orioles in this one.
