Result: Loss
3-unit Play Take #922 Baltimore Orioles over Tampa Bay Rays (4:05pm EST) You have to give the Baltimore Orioles some credit. For years they've been counted out and have managed to stay in contention with the odds against them. This year is no different. After losing several key guys including Zach Britton, Darren O'Day and Chris Davis, the team has battled to stay in the thick of things in the difficult AL East. A lot of that credit has to go to manager Buck Showalter, who always seems to get more out of his guys than any manager. The O's are one game under the .500 mark despite the key injuries, and just a half game out of the second wild card spot as we approach the halfway mark. At Camden Yards, Baltimore is 24-15 this season. The Tampa Bay Rays are also having themselves a decent season at 42-40, keeping them in the race for a playoffs spot. I'm not sure they can keep it going however. The Rays are missing a lot of guys to injury right now, including stud centerfielder Kevin Kiermaier. He's one of the more underrated guys in the league and covers a lot of territory in the outfield. I think Baltimore is the better team and they have a huge home field advantage. Take the O's at home.
