Baltimore has seven left-handed bats in the lineup versus Michael Grove, who has allowed a 1.016 OPS to left-handed hitters.

Dodgers starter Michael Grove has a 6.89 ERA overall, and an absurd 11.15 ERA on the road. Orioles starter Tyler Wells has been much better, but he still has surrendered at least two runs in seven straight starts. And we haven't even talked about the bullpens. We should get another Over in Baltimore.
Baltimore RHP Tyler Wells is having a great year with a 3.18 ERA and has allowed two earned runs or fewer in eight straight starts. Wells has a 9/2 strikeout-to-walk rate. Los Angeles RHP Michael Grove has a 6.89 ERA and just one above-average performance in eight starts. Grove really struggles both on the road and versus left-handed hitters. The Orioles will have at least seven of those in the lineup.
The Orioles had some bullpen trouble last night in a loss to the Dodgers to snap their eight-game win streak but they should be back to normal against Michael Grove who has given up four runs or more in four of his last seven starts. The bet on the Orioles is all about Tyler Wells who has given up two runs or less in his last eight starts. Orioles to win.
Monday, a big sixth inning with five runs catapulted the LA Dodgers to a game one series victory over the Baltimore Orioles. The loss ended the Orioles eight game winning streak and presents value again on the Dodgers side. Orioles starter Tyler Wells struggled post All Star break last season before ending up on the injured list. Expect the pressure to be on him today, and the Dodgers to cash once again.
