A full 15-game MLB slate is scheduled for Wednesday, including an AL East matchup between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Baltimore Orioles. Let’s take a look at the match statistics for this game between the Rays and the Orioles.

Baltimore has been struggling for some time, as they are several games under .500 and starting to lose ground in the AL East. That said, the Orioles will be looking to bounce back in Game 3 of this series by starting Shane Baz. He is a woeful 1-5 on the season and has an ERA of 5.26. Further, Baz has not pitched well on the road this season and looks to be in a lot of trouble against one of the league’s best offenses.

As for Tampa Bay, they have one of the best records in the league thus far and are leading the AL East division. Looking for another win, the Rays are scheduled to start Jesse Scholtens. He will be making just his third start of the season and has an ERA of 3.06. Scholtens has been decent at home as well, strengthening Tampa Bay’s chance to have success in this game.
