It is somewhat surprising that Baltimore is this big of a favorite, given its multiple injuries and uncertain starting pitching. The Orioles had not yet named a starting pitcher as of early today, leading to the possibility that this could be a bullpen game despite it being so early in the season. Baltimore is 8-7, but that record could start to fall given that the Orioles are down catcher Adley Rutschman (injured list), outfielder Tyler O'Neill (injured list), and designated hitter Ryan Mountcastle (broken foot). The 9-7 Diamondbacks are playing well, winning four of their last five games. Their starter today, Ryne Nelson, is off his best outing of the season. Nelson held the Mets to one run and no walks in 5 2/3 innings in picking up his first victory of the year, 7-2, this past Wednesday. Corbin Carroll is back healthy, joining another outstanding offensive threat, Ketel Marte. Carroll is batting .327 with a .414 OBP, .653 slugging percentage, and 11 RBI's. Take the Diamondbacks.
