Orioles' Recent Performance


The Orioles have shown mixed results in their recent games. They managed a win against the New York Yankees with a solid pitching performance, allowing only three runs and striking out fifteen batters. However, they also suffered losses where their pitching struggled significantly, conceding fifteen runs in one game against the Yankees. The O's hitting has been inconsistent as well; while they scored five runs in one outing, they were limited to just three hits and three runs in another.


Key Factors Against Royals


Facing the Boys in Blue, Baltimore's pitching will be crucial. The bullpen has demonstrated potential with an impressive strikeout rate of over twelve per nine innings recently but needs consistency to suppress K.C.'s offense effectively. Meanwhile, Baltimore's hitters must capitalize on scoring opportunities better than they have previously; converting runners into scores will be vital for success.
