The pitching matchup for today’s game has Dylan Bundy (4-1, 1.82 ERA) on the mound for the Orioles while Dylan Covey (0-2, 7.29) takes the hill for the White Sox. Covey has been shaky, especially on the road. He has allowed 14 earned runs over 11.2 innings in his last two road starts. He has given up 17 earned runs on the season over 21 innings and his WHIP is 1.76. Bundy has been very consistent this season, pitching at least 6 innings in all six starts. He has given up just eight earned runs over 39.2 innings this season. His WHIP is 1.03.
The Orioles picked up a 4-2 win on Friday to open this weekend series. Baltimore is now 18-10 overall, 9-3 at home and 13-13 with the over/under total. Chicago comes into tonight’s game 15-13 overall, 9-8 on the road and 16-11 with the under.
These two combined for 21 hits on Friday, but produced just six runs. Most of the damage came late in the contest, as the two bullpens combined to allow four runs. Baltimore had to tap into the bullpen early, as Wade Miley had to be pulled in the first inning. At the plate, Chris Davis led the way with three hits, including a home run. It was his fourth of the season.
These two both had a chance to put up big numbers yesterday, but couldn’t get those key hits with two outs. I like what Bundy has done on the mound, but he is still likely to give up a run or two. I think the real damage today comes from the Baltimore lineup beating up on Covey. He has really struggled on the road and is facing a great lineup. The total is set high, but I think the over hits.
