From Rotoworld: Odorizzi was given IVs on Friday and Saturday due to a bout of food poisoning. It could certainly at least partly explain his struggles on Sunday, as he allowed four runs over 5 1/3 innings against the Orioles. Odorizzi should be fine for his next outing, which will come versus O’s again, this time on the road.
Bundy struck out eight while allowing three runs over seven innings in Saturday’s win over the Rays. Bundy has had highs and lows this season, and Saturday’s start was no different. The good — three earned runs, eight strikeouts over seven innings — outweighted the not-so-good — two homers allowed, and four walks as well — to improve his record to 8-6 through 16 starts. He’s got a 3.73 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in those 16 outings.
Bet Today’s Rays vs. Orioles Game
OUR PREDICTION: The Rays have lost six of Odorizzi’s last seven starts and are just 1-5 when he’s coming off five days of rest. On the other side, the Orioles have won six of Bundy’s last eight starts against American League East competition and are 7-3 in his last 10 outings when he’s coming off a quality win in his last appearance.
