AL Game of the Month
(MLB) Astros (HOU) vs. Orioles (BAL),
Money Line: -103.00 Orioles (BAL) (Home)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Orioles.

1) Orioles are 46-33 against winning teams this season. Astros are 28-37 against winning teams this season.

2)  Living in Canada, I follow the Blue Jays closely and Kikuchi was struggling on a bad run before he went to Houston

3) Kikuchi had a hot start since going to the Astros but there are some signs already that he his tailing off based on how his most recent start went. I want to get in on the front end of this likely slide.

4)  Kremer is surging at home for Baltimore and has been charged with a total of only 4 earned runs in his last 3 starts in Baltimore. This is excellent home value here against an over-rated Astros team that struggles against quality opposition (see above).

T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Orioles.
