Brewers Sweep Threat: Orioles' Injury Crisis & Pitching Matchup | Beatline Orioles

Okay, segment one, the pitching.

Tonight is game three.

The Brewers are 97 and 58, first in the NL Central.

They are tied for a team record with their 97th win.

The Orioles are 75 and 80, fifth in the AL East.

Who is on the mound for Baltimore?

So here is the situation.

Chris Bassett started Game 1.

We predicted he would go at least six innings, and he did exactly that.

Trevor Rodgers took the ball for Game 2.

He got shelled in that 6-5 loss on Friday, where Jackson Chorio hit a three-run homer and Sal Frelick singled in the go-ahead run in the 10th.

That 10-inning thriller was brutal.

So, who is starting tonight? The rotation options are limited because Shane Baz is day-to-day, Bryce Wilson is on the 15-day IL, and Grant Anderson is also on the 15-day IL.

Correct.

You have Brandon Young available as a starter.

He's listed on the roster.

Given that Rodgers struggled in Game 2 and the bullpen is depleted, you might see them turn to Brandon Young or potentially shuffle the relief arms.

But looking at the probables, it's a tough spot.

And the Brewers' starter? They are riding high off that 1-0 shutout win where the only run came on a defensive miscue involving Hines.

Their offense is clicking.

Chorio and Frelick are names we need to watch.

Exactly.

The Brewers are playing with house money, almost.

They are securing home field advantage.

For Baltimore, this game is about survival.
