Baltimore Orioles
Baltimore got rained out Monday and Tuesday, and then got swept in a doubleheader on Wednesday. It won’t have much time to recover, as its series in Cleveland begins on Thursday: Dan Straily vs. Trevor Bauer.
Trey Mancini (141) and Dwight Smith Jr. (114) are both above league-average, in terms of OPS, though a quarter of the season. Pedro Severino has joined those two, now twenty-one games into his year. He’s slugging .508 with five home runs and a 125 OPS+.

Dylan Bundy is just 1–5 and he’s giving up about two-and-a-half home runs per game, which is terrible, though it doesn’t stand out on Baltimore’s pitching staff. Then again, he led the league in home runs allowed with forty-one a year ago and he’s on pace to give up even more this season.
Cleveland Indians
The Indians aren’t in the best position to capitalize on Bundy’s home run problem. The Tribe ranks just thirteenth out of fifteen American League teams with forty-one home runs. Leonys Martin leads the team with six and he has just fifty-five in nearly 2,700 career plate appearances. He has hit double-digits in just two of his eight full big league seasons.
Carlos Carrasco turned in seven good innings in Wednesday’s 9–0 win over Chicago. But the Indians remain a win-one-lose-one kind of club in the early going.

But with Mike Clevinger, Corey Kluber, and Danny Salazar all on the shelf but hopefully coming back at some point this season, the Indians have hope that they can get a healthy staff together that could be the most formidable in the Majors.
In addition to those three, Carrasco is there; Trevor Bauer is having a fine season; Shane Bieber has looked good; and Jefry Rodriguez has posted a 156 ERA+ in twenty-five innings.
Rodriguez doesn’t have an impressive strikeout-to-walk rate (5.5 to 2.9 per nine) but he’s given up just two home runs.

Free Baltimore Orioles vs. Cleveland Indians MLB Prediction: Rodriguez.
I’ll lay the runs because of Bundy’s home run potential. Rodriguez, meanwhile, should continue to grind out innings against one of the worst lineups in the game.
