The Reds are hitting exceptionally well at the moment, first in BA and OPS over the last week.. They have had to to keep winning, with an overall ERA of 6.00+ lately. Reds' lefty Williamson has an ERA of 5.64 in June and he will face much tougher competition in the Orioles on Monday. The second inning has been deadly; he has an ERA of over 12.00. The Orioles have pitching woes of their own, both starting and relief. Mondays' starter Irwin has been a little better in his recent call-up, but his innings have been limited . He has struggled the third time through the order with a frightening ERA of 32.40 when pitching into the fifth. Relief is not in sight, with a bullpen ERA of 7.56 over the last 10 games.

Two solid hitting teams, two struggling starters and bullpens. Let's not stray from the obvious on Monday. Take the Orioles and Reds to go over the total.
