Free MLB Pick
We get two pitchers that are really having a tough go of it. Orioles’ starter Chris Tillman hasn’t recorded a Q start in his last four outings allowing 21 runs in 19 innings. Tampa Bay’s Matt Moore has been just as incompetent in his last four allowing 19 runs in 17 2/3 inning. Tillman has either been real bad or real good in four starts against the Rays in 2015 getting the Q start in two games and allowing 12 runs in 8 innings in the other two. Moore has one start against the Orioles this season and it wasn’t pretty allowing five runs in five innings.
