Given the current standings and performance metrics, the Orioles might enter this contest as favorites, though official odds have yet to be released. Depending on these odds, there may be value in exploring game totals and spreads, especially considering the Orioles’ stronger offensive and defensive stats.

Cole Irvin (4-1, 2.76 ERA) vs. Brad Keller (0-2, 4.86 ERA)

Cole Irvin, an Orioles pitcher, has a 2.76 ERA and 1.04 WHIP over 42.1 innings of work this season. In this game against the struggling White Sox offense that has failed to produce many contact base hits this season, the key to winning the game for Irvin is his control and efficiency in missing bats.

On the other hand, Brad Keller of the White Sox although he started the season with a 4.86 ERA in 1.38 WHIP but has the makings of a reversal. Keller should be able to handle the games deeper and his ability to adjust may prove to be a strong quality although the Orioles have several dangerous power hitters who will try to hit him for home runs.

Orioles’ Offensive Power

The Orioles players in total are batting at .247 while their slugging percentage is currently at .446, meaning that they have a good opportunity to produce desirable results in every at-bat. Their power-hitting is dangerous and they have been good for a total of 68 home runs so far this season, and against a pitcher who likes to give up home runs, namely Keller, this is a huge challenge for the Reds.

White Sox’s Struggle for Runs

White Sox batting has been quite a disaster as indicated by the low team average of .215 and slugging average of .333. In numerous games their home runs are only 33 and runs are 133 which is a very low rate plus it is unlikely that they will be able to compete with teams like the Orioles which frequently scored above 25 every game.
