Brandon Young has to run it back against the same team as last time in the Tampa Bay Rays, and being at 17.5 outs here, I'm going to fade him completing a full six. Last time out, the Rays bats chased him before he could even finish five innings, and the O's bullpen has been rested the past couple of days now. Young has been stellar vs. lefties and will see a bunch of them tonight, but the xwOBA and xSLG on his pitches to lefties points to a bit of regression at some point. His innings are also stacking up and the bullpen can cover some extra as long as he's less than highly-efficient.
Brandon Young gets the start today, owning a 3.52 ERA and making his second career start against Tampa Bay. Shane McClanahan is 7-0 with a 3.23 ERA and 69 strikeouts in his career against the Orioles. The Rays have won nine of their last 10 road games while Baltimore has lost each of their last seven games as home underdogs. The Orioles bats are hot but are still only hitting .214 against left-handers at home on the year.
