This is a 10* IL SHOCKER on the Orioles.

These teams played a double-header yesterday, with the Orioles winning the first continued game in the morning, before the Nats bounced back with a 15-3 win later that night.

But Washington lost the services of starting second baseman Starlin Castro to injury.

Patrick Corbin (2-0, 2.50 ERA) faces off against Asher Wojciechowski (0-2, 3.95 ERA) and I'll call these starters a "wash."

In a contest where I deem the starting pitchers to be even, I always lean towards the underdog in those cases, and that's absolutely the case here.

Look for the Orioles to respond after last night's beatdown and expect the Nats to take a step back after losing Castro.

The play is Baltimore.

Good luck, NP
