Orioles vs. Dodgers Key Players to Watch

Baltimore Orioles

Corbin Burnes: Corbin Burnes has been one of the best pitchers in the American League this season, sporting a 12-6 record and a 3.28 ERA. With that being said, he's struggled in recent starts, allowing at least three earned runs in four straight starts. He needs to have a bounceback performance tonight.

Los Angeles Dodgers

Miguel Rojas: The Dodgers' shortstop has been red-hot in August, rocking a .354 batting average while striking out on just 7.7% of his plate appearances. That level of production is going to be a huge boost for the Dodgers in the final stretch of the season.

Orioles vs. Dodgers Prediction and Pick

Despite Corbin Burnes' recent struggles, I have a lot more faith in him bouncing back with a strong performance tonight than I do in Walker Buehler. Buehler has allowed at least three earned runs in three straight games and he has a season ERA of 6.09.

The Dodgers offense hasn't been quite as good in August either, ranking 12th in OPS this month. They may struggle tonight if Burnes is able to pitch at the level that he has for the majority of the season.

I'll back the Orioles to win their second straight game against the Dodgers tonight.

Pick: Orioles -106
