Baltimore Orioles vs. Cincinnati Reds Prediction 4/19
The Reds have won two of their last three games and they are alone in first place in the NL Central. They had lost eight in a row to teams from the AL East before beating the Orioles in the first game of this series yesterday. Not sure why the Reds are not the home favorite since Garrett has gotten off to a great rookie campaign while Jimenez has been lit up and has an ERA north of 10.00. The Orioles have lost two of their last three games and while they have won both of Jimenez’s starts giving him a lot of run support that will not happen in this game. What will happen is that Jimenez will get tagged up again, Garrett will have a good outing, and the Reds will take the 2nd game of this inter league series.
