Baltimore has already guaranteed themselves a winning record coming into this one as they get set to take on the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday.
The Rays split their opening series with Toronto, grabbing the final 2 games after dropping the first 2.
Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles had a dramatic opening day as they walked off on the Twins and then followed that up with a solid pitching performance as they have taken the first two games against Minnesota. They’ll go for the sweep on Thursday before heading into Tampa for a weekend set.

Baltimore has relied heavily on their pitching staff through the first two games as they have allowed a combined 4 runs through the first 2 contests. Chris Davis also has a homerun to his credit on the season, as he tries to provide the power spark for the O’s once again this season.
Baltimore will send their #4 pitcher out here in Chris Tillman. Tillman was the same way as Minnesota Twins pitcher Ervin Santana, as he went just 2.0 innings on Opening Day before being washed away thanks to a lengthy delay.
Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays had quite the dramatic opening series. After dropping the first two games and looking lifeless, the Rays were the first ones to benefit from the new slide rule.
Tampa Bay went down 4-3, but after review, it was determined Bautista’s slide was illegal, erasing the runs and giving the Rays a 3-2 win. They then followed that up with a Souza Jr. 3 run homer in the 8th to clinch a split in the series.
Tampa Bay has seen their offense show some signs of life, as it was the biggest question mark for them heading into this season.
