A few experts are playing Gunnar Henderson Over 1.5 total bases props tonight because he's 4-for-6 with a triple and homer career off Angels starter Griffin Canning -- and that makes total sense, but Henderson doesn't have to get an official total base and can still come around to score. Or just go yard in the top of the first and make us all happy.
Gunnar Henderson has been swinging a hot bat of late with six multihit games in his last eight and five extra-base hits in that stretch. He also homered against Tuesday starter Griffin Canning as part of a 2-for-3 day at the end of March and tripled against Canning as part of another 2-for-3 day in the only meeting between the two last year. Canning hasn't been much better against the rest of MLB this year with a 8.05 ERA and 11 extra-base hits allowed in four starts, and lefties have 1.096 OPS against the Angels starter this year. I expect another big game from Henderson in this one.
Everything here points to a comfortable Orioles' win. They are 15-7 and look every bit as good as their record. Grayson Rodriguez is on the hill and he's continuing to build toward being an ace. Meanwhile, the Angels have lost five straight games and have an incredibly thin lineup. Griffin Canning takes the ball for the Angels and he has an 8.05 ERA so far. The Orioles beat him up on March 30 -- while Rodriguez held the Angels in check with relative ease -- and I'd expect a repeat. I took the run line (-1.5) to move the odds in our favor (+102).
After a hot start, the Angels are 2-8 over their last 10 games. The Orioles are 7-3 over their last 10 games and are 15-7 on the season. They have played well on the road, posting a 7-3 record away from Baltimore. They have a significant starting pitching advantage in this matchup with Grayson Rodriguez facing off against Griffin Canning. Rodriguez has given up two or fewer runs in each of his four starts. That included an outing against the Angels in which he allowed one run over six innings. Canning has an 8.05 ERA and was touched up for five runs over five innings the last time he faced the Orioles. Take the Orioles to win this one.
This kid is a totally different ballplayer than the one who came up late last year. His statcast page is ridiculous - 95th percentile in so many key metrics and he launched a lefty/lefty bomb off a stud in Detmers Mon night. He didn't get to face Canning the last time the O's faced him - manager hadn't start to play him yet - but will make up for it here. Kid has 16 driven in over the last 15 games.
Henderson's ABs vs tough lefties have been better lately and he can really destroy starters with a profile like Ross Stripling's. Feel confident in his ability to get an extra base hit tonight. Getting a bunch of triples lately and seems to relish batting leadoff (even though I would bat him 3rd). He's an MVP candidate for a reason and this lineup is stacked behind him right now
The O's are rolling but their bullpen is becoming an increasing concern and Burnes only gave them 16 outs Sun despite a 7-run lead and Suarez was awesome Mon but also went 5 2/3 and the skipper cant trust his long men much these days. Rodriguez is a potential ace who has to provide more length. Cruised against this lineup in Baltimore and Halos were hitting the ball better then. Expect him to lean on that changeup early in counts to get groundballs and weak contact and pitch into the 7th
Love this pitching match-up for Baltimore. Grayson Rodriguez needs to be a little more pitch efficient to go longer in games but he doesn't give up damage. He was awesome vs Halos earlier this season. Griffin Canning was chum in the water against this lineup earlier this season and will likely be so again Tues night. O's struggle a bit vs lefties but have been great vs RHP. BAL on a HR surge and Canning already allowed 5 in 4 starts.
