The Angels are really making a push here for a wild card spot only one game back and have now won 3 of their last 4 games. While I know Graveman has pitched well as of late, but he has struggled on the road this year with a 1-4 record and 6.34 ERA. Bridwell is just rock solid with a 7-2 record on the season and a 3.03 ERA. His recent form is very good as well with a 2.50 ERA his last 3 starts.

They are still without Harper and their offense is struggling only scoring more than 3 runs once in 6 games. Chacin has just been sensational at home this year with a 7-2 record and 1.86 ERA. Edwin Jackson has really struggled against the Padres for his career with a 0-6 record and a 6.98 ERA.

With the Orioles not trading their stud closer in Briton they clearly think they are still contenders.

In Bundy's only ever start against the Royals this year he struck out 8 in just 6 innings only giving up 2 earned runs.

His last two starts both at home have by far been his best, which is telling me he is getting back to form. He has only gave up 3 earned runs in those 2 starts striking out 8 in 11 innings of work. The Orioles have been hitting the crap out of the ball and almost made a great comeback last night after being down 8-2 lost 8-7. McHugh is making his first start of the season and he hasn't fared to well against the Orioles with a career ERA over 6!
