The Baltimore Orioles and Oakland Athletics face off on Monday in an American League game at RingCentral Coliseum. These teams have the lowest payrolls in baseball and will need to get creative if they hope to make the playoffs.
Frankie Montas allowed two hits over six innings and the Oakland Athletics threw out two runners at the plate to hold on for a 5-1 victory in the series opener Monday.
Oakland hung on to beat Baltimore 2-1 on Tuesday in front of the smallest home crowd in nearly 42 years, just 3,748 attendees.
Baltimore Orioles
The Orioles sit with a 3-6 record overall but they won two of their three games over the weekend against the New York Yankees. On Sunday they only allowed the Yankees to have four hits, and they didn’t give up any runs.
The Orioles offense has been an issue this season but the pitching staff has actually been quite impressive. The Orioles are averaging only 2.33 runs per game but they are giving up only 3.33 runs per game.
Getting the start for the Orioles will be Spenser Watkins who sits with an ERA of 3.00. The Orioles are going to need him to be good in this game.
Oakland Athletics
On the other side of this matchup is the Oakland Athletics who sit with a 5-5 record which is better than many expected at this point of the season. On Sunday the A’s faced off with the Toronto Blue Jays and they played pretty well but they lost 4-3.
The A’s are averaging 5.3 runs per game while they are giving up 4.3 runs per game. The offense being ranked 5th in the MLB is one of the biggest surprises in all of baseball. Seth Brown has been the top player for the A’s hitting two home runs and driving in nine RBI’s. Sean Murphy is also having a big season hitting two home runs and driving in eight RBI’s.
Getting the start for the A’s is Frankie Montas and in his last start against the Rays he went 6.1 innings giving up five hits and two runs.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Oakland Athletics MLB Prediction:
Everything looks like it is coming up Oakland in this ballgame. They have defeated the Orioles in 7 of the last 10 meetings, including both games in this series so far.
Lyles has not been very impressive this season while Jeffries has looked very good through his first two starts. Starting pitching is usually the name of the game, and Oakland clearly has the edge here.
Give me the A’s to win again and the total to go under once again in a low scoring game,
