Tyler Wilson will make his 11th start of his young career for the Baltimore Orioles when they take on the Houston Astros Wednesday, which – if history continues – could mean the OVER is worth a look. The OVER is 8-2 in Wilson’s 10 career starts thus far with the righty posting a 4.36 ERA in those outings.
The ‘Stros will send Collin McHugh to the mound in the hopes that the pitcher can stop surrendering so much contact. McHugh has given up 63 hits through his first nine starts – the fifth-most of any AL pitcher this season.
Some of the Orioles' best hitters have been struggling recently with both Manny Machado and Mark Trumbo faltering at the plate. Machado is just 5-for-37 with 13 strikeouts in the past 10 games while Trumbo has reached base just once in the past three games – a walk on May 21.
