Saw an interesting stat when looking at this game. Jorge Lopez has allowed ten(that's right, 10) 2+ run innings in 6 games. All of these were in the first 5 because he has only made 5 innings once this year. Four of those innings were 3+ runs. Of all of those starts, there has not been a lot of patience as he has only thrown more than 66 pitches in one game this year.
The Orioles have scored 4 runs or more in the last 9 games, averaging 5.44/runs a game. 3.33 of those runs, on average, happen in the First 5 innings during this streak. Porcello is taking the mound, and 57 hits/BB in 39 innings is a lot of base runners. He does have 3 quality starts, so when he is bad, he is BAD, especially when he has only given up 2 home runs this year.
I'm due for a loss, but this is one I would not regret for the price I'm getting at -105.
