Recent Performance


The Orioles have had a rollercoaster ride in their recent games. They secured a solid win with strong pitching and defense, shutting out their opponents while allowing only four hits. However, inconsistency has been evident as they suffered losses where both hitting and pitching faltered. In one game, they managed just six hits without scoring any runs, highlighting struggles in offensive production.


Pitching has shown potential but remains inconsistent. In one outing, the Birds' pitchers maintained an impressive zero earned run average with effective control over opposing hitters. Yet, in another game, they allowed 11 runs on 17 hits—a stark contrast that underscores the need for stability on the mound.

Key Matchup Insights


As they prepare to take on the Angels, who boast formidable hitters like Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout, maintaining focus will be crucial for Baltimore's pitchers. The Orioles' bullpen must rise to the occasion by minimizing walks and keeping power hitters at bay.


Offensively, Baltimore needs its lineup to find rhythm early against Los Angeles’ pitching staff known for its depth. Players like Adley Rutschman will be pivotal in driving offensive momentum through timely hitting and strategic base running.
