The Orioles finished their three-team homestand yesterday with a record of 5-3 with one rainout. Now they are out on the road for a trip to the Midwest where they play three against the St. Louis Cardinals starting tonight and four against the Chicago White Sox Thursday through Sunday. Both of these teams are bad so it would behoove the Orioles to mop the floor with them.
First up, the Cardinals. This team is 20-26 and in fourth place in the NL Central. Both their offense and their defense have been underwhelming this season. They have one very good starting pitcher in Sonny Gray and an otherwise unintimidating rotation.
