The current betting odds for the game are yet to be announced. Once the odds are available, they will provide a clearer picture of the market sentiment towards both teams. Given the Orioles’ impressive record and the Rays’ struggle to maintain consistency, the odds might favor the Orioles slightly, particularly in the moneyline market.

Corbin Burnes (6-2, 2.26 ERA) vs. Ryan Pepiot (4-2, 3.96 ERA)

Corbin Burnes is also one of the key players for the Orioles and has been pitching rather well (2.26 ERA and 1.02 WHIP) and has played (79.2) innings this season. Burnes 76 strikeouts say it all; a promising pitcher with little home runs allowed that is only 7, and a hit allowed of only 60. His effectiveness will be felt against a Rays team that doesn’t hit for much punch but does have decent skills on getting a hit.

On the other side we have Ryan Pepiot of the Rays who equally performs well with the season ERA of 3.96, and a very impressive 0.96 WHIP. While facing fewer hits (34 hits in 52.1 innings), Pepiot’s test against a potent Orioles team that boasts 95 home runs for this season could be decisive. His strikeout competence and acceptable BB/9 rates (16 BBs) should be optimal to check the aggressive nature of the Orioles’ batting line.

TEAM Orioles’ Offensive Powerhouse

The Orioles are not just a threat on the pitching mound; their batting lineup is equally formidable. With a team batting average of .247 and an impressive .445 slugging percentage, they’ve managed to score 311 runs off 517 hits. Their offensive strategy, heavily reliant on power hitting (95 home runs), might find leverage against a Rays’ pitching staff that has been somewhat generous with runs this season.

Rays’ Struggle and Strategy

The Rays, with a team batting average of .236 and fewer runs scored (248), face a challenge in matching the Orioles’ offensive output. Their modest .358 slugging percentage reflects a lack of power hitting, evident from just 48 home runs this season. However, their slightly higher on-base percentage (.311) compared to the Orioles (.308) suggests that they can capitalize on base-running if they manage to get on base.
