00:00All right, let's get now to the series that Sam will be watching closely here,

00:06Nationals and Orioles.

00:08Yeah, sell me on this one.

00:10Jake Irvin and Kyle Gibson are the starters.

00:14Michael Sirocco goes for Washington on Sunday against Zach Eflin.

00:19I mean, at some point, I mean, for Washington, it's like finish 500.

00:23Okay, fine.

00:24But at some point, Orioles got to get hot.

00:26Is this it?

00:28I mean, no.

00:30I mean, once again, that's the problem with the Orioles.

00:32When you're throwing pitches out like this, I mean, you're not going to go on any kind of big winning streak

00:36because these guys are going to lay eggs.

00:38All right, they're just going to.

00:39Kyle Gibson, at this point, he's going to blah.

00:42Eflin, okay, he's your de facto ace, but he's not an ace.

00:46And Washington's not a bad team here.

00:47I'm not saying they can't win both, but odds are they'll split.

00:50That's the way I look at it here.

00:51For Washington, for me, it's all about James Wood.

00:53I think this kid's a star or going to be his up-and-coming star here.

00:57I'm big on Wood because I have a big number on his over 17-and-a-half home runs this year.

01:02So I'm just doing a little count down here.

01:04And he's already more than halfway there, and we're in mid-May.

01:08So, yeah, as Sam's telling me, he hit 12 yesterday.

01:10So I am thrilled about James Wood.

01:13That's really what I'm watching here.

01:15Baltimore, one of the bigger disappointments this year.

01:17They just can't hit consistently.
