Kevin Gausman goes for the Orioles today and in his last outing he was roughed up giving up six earned runs in four innings in a 10-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Orioles have lost three of his last four starts, including his last two, but in his two starts previous to his last one he only gave up one earned run in 15 innings of work. Gausman has pitched great in two starts against the Rays this season, both Baltimore wins, totaling 13 innings and not allowing any earned runs and only allowing seven hits. In his career against the Rays he has 13 appearances, including 11 starts, and is 5-4 with an ERA of 3.82. Baltimore has won five of Gausman’s last seven road starts and six of his last eight starts against teams from the AL East.

<p>
Blake Snell gets the call in this season finale and in his last outing he only lasted one inning giving up four earned runs in a 6-1 loss to the New York Yankees. The Rays had won his previous two starts where he lasted 12 innings and only gave up one earned run and both those games were at home while his last start was on the road. In Snell’s lone start against the Orioles this season he gave up three earned runs in seven innings in a 5-0 Tampa Bay loss and in two career starts facing them he is 0-1 with an ERA of 5.56. Overall, the Rays are 7-3 in Snell’s last 10 starts, but they have lost his last four home starts against a team with a losing record.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Tampa Bay Rays Prediction

The Orioles are not ending the season well, as they have lost four in a row and six of their last seven games. They have been outscored 26-7 in their four-game skid and they need a win in this season finale to avoid the sweep in this series. The Rays will finish the season under .500, but they have won three in a row after losing three straight. While they only rank 26th in the Majors in runs scored they have totaled 20 runs in winning three in a row. Gausman has been lights out in his two starts facing the Rays this season, but was lit up in his last outing. Snell was also lit up in his last outing, but has been lights out in his last two home starts. Snell will get back to pitching well back at home while Gausman will struggle for a 2nd straight outing. The Rays will take this last game of the season completing the series sweep and handing the Orioles their 5th straight loss.
