The Baltimore Orioles are going for a sweep of this four-game home-and-home series after a 10-8 victory on Wednesday. I think we'll see plenty of runs scored tonight again.

Max Scherzer (13-7, 3.05) takes the ball for Washington. He's not been at his very best lately with a total of eight runs allowed on 13 hits in 10 1/3 innings through his las two starts. Facing this high-tempo Orioles offense will prove another tough challenge for Mad Max.

Ubaldo Jimenez (5-10, 6.94 ERA) takes the ball for the Orioles as he's moving back into the rotation in place of the injured Chris Tillman. Jimenez was tagged with three runs on as many hits and four walks in three innings to suffer a loss out of the bullpen against Houston on Friday. Over is 10-2 in Jimenez's last 12 starts overall.

Over is 8-1-1 in the last 10 meetings in Washington.
