Houston Astros at Baltimore Orioles – 7:05 ET
The Orioles and Kyle Bradish managed to pull off a feat that has not been accomplished many times this season when they shut out the Astros. Today, Dean Kremer tries to do the same. Kremer has been an above-average pitcher this season, but the success has been a bit of smoke and mirrors. He has a well below-average K rate and is allowing a hit per inning but has managed to keep the success rolling by limiting his walks and his homers. This Astros offense is still one of the best in baseball but is a bit weaker when it does not have Jose Altuve hitting at the top of the order. He missed yesterday’s game after taking a pitch off his elbow earlier this week, and if he is out again, then this looks like a great play.
