This is a weird one. There is only one other evening game in MLB tonight, and that is the Field of Dreams match-up between the Cubs and Reds in Dyersville, Iowa. Understandably, the league wants that game to get all of the eyeballs. But due to the CBA negotiations delaying the start of the season, this one-gamer got squished into the schedule before the O’s head down to Tampa for a proper series with the Rays this weekend.
On top of that, both the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots begin their preseason schedules tonight.
