The Tampa Rays are now 12.5 games back of first place Baltimore in the AL East, and their current losing streak has reached 10 games. They try to avoid the sweep in the final game of a four game set at Camden Yards this afternoon, but this looks like a tough spot to break out of a slump.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - Drew Smyly will be on the mound for the visitors, and he's had a disappointing season. Smyly (2-7, 4.78 ERA) allowed four runs on eight hits over seven innings in a loss to Cleveland in his last start. He's 2-3 with a 5.18 ERA in eight starts on the road in 2016. The Orioles counter with 26 year old right-hander Tyler Wilson, who has shown flashes of brilliance this season.

2. Home Cookin' - The Orioles home record of 30-13 is by far the best in the majors. The Rays have lost six straight in Baltimore, and they are 0-4 in Smyly's last four road starts versus a team with a winning record.

3. X-Factor - The Rays are 0-9 in their last 9 games vs. a right-handed starter.

Selection: This is a play on the Baltimore Orioles (8*)
