The Baltimore Orioles embark on an important 10-game road trip when they visit the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night to begin a three-game set. Both teams are trying to chase down the Kansas City Royals for the second AL Wild Card spot and the Orioles are making a strong climb since the All-Star Break. Baltimore took the final two of a four-game series from the Detroit Tigers over the weekend to move within 2.5 games of the Royals. The Orioles belted five homers in the 12-3 victory on Sunday, including three in a row during a four-run first inning. Manny Machado hit his 20th of the year among four hits and recorded a season-high five RBIs while Joey Rickard went 4-for-4 with a solo homer as Baltimore won for the seventh time in nine games. Los Angeles fell three games behind the Royals after blowing a five-run lead and dropping an 11-10 decision to Oakland on Sunday. Mike Trout is on a nine-game hitting streak after hitting his third homer in five games for the Angels, who are 4-2 on their nine-game homestand. On the medical side of things, Angels OF Cameron Maybin (knee) is expected to be activated from the disabled list on Monday after two rehab games, while Baltimore DH Mark Trumbo (rib cage), who began his career with the Angels, could be activated from the DL in time for the series finale on Wednesday.
Pitchers: Orioles – Dylan Bundy (10-8, 4.24 ERA) | Angels – JC Ramirez (10-9, 4.03)
Dylan Bundy won his tenth game of the season on Tuesday and will go for his career-high 11th on Monday against the Angels. Bundy was brilliant in the win over Kansas City, allowing one unearned run and three hits in eight innings. Bundy had surrendered at least five runs in five of his previous seven outings. He will be making his first start against Los Angeles after allowing four runs over 1.1 innings of relief in his only career appearance versus the Angels.
WIN A RINGSIDE SEAT TO SEE MAYWEATHER VS MCGREGOR
JC Ramirez is also coming off his tenth win in dominant fashion, scattering six hits over eight scoreless innings in a win over Philadelphia on Wednesday. Ramirez has won two straight starts at home but still owns a 3-5 record and 4.50 ERA in 12 appearances (11 starts) at Angel Stadium this season. He has faced Baltimore twice in relief during his career, allowing one run and three hits over 1.2 innings of work.
[ad id=’36449′]
Both pitchers are coming off great outings, but Ramirez has been a little better over the last month than Bundy. Also, I’m not a fan of taking a team flying three time zones after playing the previous day. I’ll take the Angels in the opener.
Pick: Angels -120
