00:00It's the Dodgers playing host to the Orioles.

00:05The Orioles got the score there last night and Donnie and taking a look at the numbers

00:09for this one projected to be a very close game right around a pick him here.

00:15It's the Dodgers going with Walker Bueller out there on the hill.

00:18It's Corbin Burns telling the slab for Baltimore 80% of the money points towards the Dodgers.

00:23But how do you see this one shaping up?

00:25Yeah, I got to tell you, it looks like it should be a pick them in this contest.

00:29You got Corbin Burns, the ace of the staff for the Orioles on the mound.

00:31But having said that, he hasn't been all that great as of late.

00:34And if you even take a look at his last 60 days, he's had 52 and two thirds innings pitch.

00:39How about an ERA of 5.30?

00:42That's not good enough yet.

00:43He was absolutely dominant to start the season, but now showing some signs of leakage here

00:48as of late.

00:49XFIP is okay at a 4.02.

00:52If we flip it over to the other side, Walker Bueller still trying to find his way here

00:55in this Major League Baseball season, 208 batters.

00:58He's facing an ISO of 249 and a weighted on base percentage of 400 against him.

01:03That's not good enough.

01:04If we go over the last 30 days, Doves, he's only faced 40 total batters.

01:08That's a 250 ISO with a weighted on base percentage of 431 against.

01:11So something has to give.

01:13Either Walker Bueller is going to correct himself on the mound against a very good lineup,

01:17or we're going to see Corbin Burns get back to what we saw at the early parts of the season.

01:23I'm willing to roll with the Dodgers at this price point for them being at home.

01:27I think they can bounce back from that loss yesterday and pick up a victory.

01:31The one thing that we need to see from the Orioles, though, is Corbin Burns has to get

01:36back to form if the Orioles want to be a player in the AL Pennant race.
