Chris’ Pick

I’m sticking with the Orioles here. The Angels keep finding new ways to lose baseball games and again, look like a team that’s just given up as they can’t catch a break. Kyle Gibson’s not my favorite starter in this rotation, but the Orioles offense is more than capable of backing him up and I’m just not a Patrick Sandoval fan. I think the Orioles complete the sweep here so give me Baltimore at the great price.
