The Chicago Cubs are in one of their better stretches again, with two ten-game winning streaks and a ten-game losing streak this season. The Cubs have been led offensively by Pete Crow-Armstrong, who is quickly becoming one of the most polarizing figures in the game.
The Baltimore Orioles’ season has been a disaster, and they are starting to run out of time to turn it around. The Orioles are starting Trevor Rogers, who has been solid on the mound lately, allowing just seven earned runs over his past 35.2 innings of work.
Cubs’ Pitching Struggles
The Cubs have struggled with pitching, with all but one of their starters from Opening Day spending time on the injured list. The Cubs traded for David Peterson, who had a rough first start with the team, giving up 10 earned runs on nine hits in 3.2 innings.
However, the Orioles hitters have not hit Peterson well, batting just .139 against him in 36 at-bats. The Cubs will look to turn Peterson’s performance around, but for now, the Orioles seem to have the upper hand.
