Friendly notes regarding the "crap bullpens"
Baltimore Past 10 games - with nine on the road I might add at MIN, CHW and TB - has a bullpen ERA of 2.83
Cleveland Past 10 games bullpen ERA is 2.90
In order to top 10, at least one team must score six runs (of course).
*Baltimore's past three games have scored, 4, 6 and 5.
The last time Birds scored 4+ in four consecutive games was June 20. Thus they seem slightly dubious to score four on Friday, much less six. Meanwhile, the Clevelands have allowed 6+ runs just six times in their past 25 games overall.
During that stretch, the Tribe is 15-10 as compared to the Orioles 8-17 mark over same number of games.
Given the frankly pedestrian offense of the Birds and the very clear difference in performance over the past four weeks, we'll wish no ill will on anyone's "Over 10" wager, but submit the best position in this matchup is CLE -112
Best to all of us for a profitable Friday however you elect to proceed.
