The Baltimore Orioles and LA Angels play game two of their three game set here on Tuesday night. Thee Orioles look to extend their win streak to four games after beating the Halos on Monday, 4-2. Baltimore is 14-7 and in 2nd place in the AL East, just a half game back of the Yankees. They also have the best run differential in the division at +29. Meanwhile, the Angels dropped their fifth game in a row with the loss. They have scored more than two runs just one time during this five game losing streak. LA is 9-13 overall and third in the AL West, 2.5-games back of the Rangers. Good thing for the Angels is that the West is the weakest division thus far in the A.L. The Angels will turn to much maligned Griffin Canning today. Canning is 0-3 in his four starts with a 8.05 ERA and 1.579 WHIP. The O's will send Grayson Rodriguez to the hill. Rodriguez is 3-0 in his four starts with a 2.63 ERA and 1.167 WHIP. Even having to lay a bit of a price on the road here tonight, I'll take the Orioles with a much better starter on the hill and the momentum. Play Baltimore.

The Oakland A's and New York Yankees play game two of their four game set here tonight. The A's shocked the Yankees in game one as a +2.20 dog with the 2-0 win, shutting out the Bronx Bombers. The A's improved to 8-14 and fourth place in the AL West, just 3.5 games back of first place Texas. They do have the worst run differential in the division at -37. The Yankees still lead the AL East by a half game over the Orioles as they dropped to 15-7 overall and a +21 run differential. Zack Gelof broke open the 0-0 tie in the top of the 9th inning with a 2-run home run off Victor Gonzalez. That broke a 8-game losing streak by the A's. The A's send their Ace Paul Blackburn to the hill tonight. Blackburn is 2-0 in his four starts with a 1.08 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. He has only one start on the road, but that was a six inning, three hit shutout at Detroit as he got his first win of the season. In fact, the three runs he allowed to the Cardinals in his last start were his only earned runs allowed thus far on the season. The Yankees will send Marcus Stroman to the hill. Stroman is 1-1 in his four starts with a 2.42 ERA and 1.164 WHIP. Both these pitchers are excellent, but Blackburn has been amazing and an early Cy Young candidate. Plus we get a huge dog price on the A's today. Yes, they are a live dog because of Blackburn and for me, that's a shot I will take. Play Oakland.
