The online live streaming, online live against Brian Matusz vs Kyle Davies at 8:10 pm EDT Thu Jul 29, 2010.Baltimore is 1-6 in their last 7 versus the AL Central, 18-57 in the last 75 road games versus a right hander and 2-6 in Matusz‘ last 8 starts.
The Orioles have dropped eleven of thirteen after the break averaging 2.8 runs while allowing over six so the record is explainable. The bottom line is this team has big issues in all phases of the game with that has shown few signs of letting up.
They went through a youth movement with the rotation in 2009 along with growing pains which was expected to pay dividends but the arms have regressed and the productive offense of last season has never materialized.
Davies took down the defending World Series champs in his last start, allowing four earned runs on seven hits, with three walks and three strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings.
He has given up six homers over his last three starts. Starting a Royals pitcher not named Zack Greinke can be tough in most Fantasy scenarios, and continued erratic performances from Davies don’t help his cause. He hadn’t won since May 28 prior to Saturday and remains just a low-end AL-only stopgap measure for his next start against the Orioles.
