Out of the six Orioles pitchers that made more than 10 starts in 2018, the player with the lowest earned run average is now an Atlanta Brave. But on the bright side, Gausman only “led” those pitchers with a 4.43 ERA. None of the team’s starters set the bar particularly high last season, and every Bird in Baltimore will be looking to improve on their performance from a year ago.
Three of those starters, barring an injury or a trade, will be in the opening day rotation. Dylan Bundy, Alex Cobb and Andrew Cashner will all be back in Black and Orange attempting to live up to their potential.
