ORIOLES AWAY GAMES
As the dog days of summer descend upon us, the MLB season approaches its climax with teams making their final playoff pushes. On Friday, the Baltimore Orioles and the Chicago Cubs will meet at Wrigley Field for the first of a three-game series. First pitch starts at 2:20 pm ET.
Given the Orioles’ recent form, their superior head-to-head record, and Rodriguez’s dominance on the mound, they enter this game as favorites. The Cubs’ struggles against top-tier pitching and bullpen inconsistencies could be their downfall.
