Houston Astros vs. Baltimore Orioles
Saturday, August 24, 2024 – 04:05 PM ET at Camden Yards
Astros Pitching Profile
Framber Valdez (13-5, 3.20 ERA, 1.14 WHIP) will do the honors for the AL West-leading Astros after twirling a seven-inning gem in which he held the White Sox scoreless and allowing just three hits in a 2-0 win Astros victory last Sunday. Valdez has been lights out in August, surrendering only three runs over 21.1 innings spread out among his three starts.
Orioles Pitching Profile
Right-hander Albert Suarez (6-4, 3.18 ERA, 1.29 WHIP) has been nothing short of immaculate in his last three starts, holding the Blue Jays, Rays, and most recently the Red Sox silent over 17.2 innings while allowing an average of a little over four hits per game.
The Pick
As good as Albert Suarez has been recently, he will be facing a Houston lineup that tagged him for five runs on 10 hits over five innings back in June en route to an 8-1 Astros victory. We should also note that despite the O’s 7-5 win last night, following a 6-0 loss to the Astros on Thursday, Houston has won five of their last six meetings with Baltimore.
Lastly, the Astros have won Framber Valdez’s last 10 starts including an 8-1 win over the Orioles on June 23rd in which Valdez allowed just one run and six hits over seven full innings.
Predicted Score: Astros 3 – Orioles 2
