Baltimore has won eight of 11 after a 4-2 road trip, and now the Orioles are home where they are 29-17 this season. The Orioles also have won five of six following an off day, and they will have Dean Kremer start tonight. Kremer pitched five scoreless innings on two hits in a 4-1 win over Seattle on Wednesday; that was his first appearance since May 20. The Oriole bullpen is #2 in the American League with 31 saves. Chicago is in last place in the NL Central and 17-28 on the road. The Cubs are 0-5 in Jameson Taillon's past five road starts, and they are 0-6 overall as road underdogs of +110 to +150.

Chicago goes for its sixth consecutive victory following Saturday's 3-2 win over the Orioles despite getting only four hits and Mike Tauchman hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the fifth for the winning margin. Baltimore has lost three of four while scoring a total of only 10 runs in that span and the Orioles will face Jameson Taillon, who allowed three runs on six hits in six innings in an 11-3 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Taillon has settled down and pitched well in June after struggling the first two months of the season. Dean Kremer has given up 10 runs on 22 hits in 17 innings this month and he has a 6.57 ERA and a .346 opponent batting average in five day games this year. Baltimore has lost 13 of 19 interleague road games versus right-handed starters. Take the Cubs as a Max Play
