Baltimore at Colorado

August 31, 2026
img8:40 PM Eastern

Baltimore has won two straight and six of its last ten, and that stretch has come with real weight behind it — Camden Yards' bullpen got a jolt back on Tuesday when the O's activated their closer off the injured list, tightening up the late innings just as this club claws at a crowded wild card field. Colorado offers almost nothing to counter it. The Rockies sit at 52-84, buried in last place, and they're coming off a nine-game home losing streak at Coors Field that tied a franchise record before finally snapping. Tanner Gordon draws the ball for Colorado, carrying a 5.60 ERA and a losing record, exactly the kind of soft matchup my numbers like for a team playing loose baseball. Baltimore hasn't named its starter, but that's a minor concern against a lineup this punchless and a home ballpark that's turned into a house of horrors for the team that plays there. We're getting the healthier bullpen and the momentum in this spot. Baltimore is the right side on the moneyline tonight.
