Baltimore at Seattle

George Kirby entered this season with a strong track record, but a four-start stretch in early June — zero wins, a 7.28 ERA — raised real questions about whether hitters had started to solve his sequences. He's 5-5 on the year with a 4.04 ERA heading into tonight, and there's no comfort in the recent form. Kyle Bradish, by contrast, is in the best stretch of his 2026 season. After a rocky start coming off Tommy John surgery, he's strung together seven consecutive starts of at least five innings, including a six-inning shutout of the Yankees in his most recent outing. He's giving up contact but surviving it, and the 3.89 ERA over the full season undersells how well he's pitched lately. A starting pitcher in form versus one who's been getting knocked around, with the better arm catching a plus number on the road — that's the bet. Play Baltimore tonight.
