Bot the L.A Dodgers and Baltimore Orioles meet in Mid-April with mixed reviews as both are playing under 2013 expectations. The Dodgers loss of RHP Zack Greinke is a huge blow as their Starting Pitching is getting "Iffy". The O's haven't been getting quality starting pitching either and both teams have had timely hitting escape them. No better time to meet a Team with the same expectations to try to work out all the kinks.
#BoysInBlue DODGERS vs #Os ORIOLES
April 19 2013
LAD Ryu (2-1) vs BAL Hammel (2-1) 7:05pm ET
April 20, 2013
LAD Beckett (0-2) vs BAL Chen (0-2) 7:05pm ET
April 21, 2013
LAD Billingsley (1-0) vs BAL Arrieta (1-0)
The Dodgers will throw the middle to the back half of the Rotation as Beckett looks to be nothing more than a Number 5 Starter and Billingsley coming off Surgery so it could be late 2013 or the beginning of 2014 until he regains that mid-90s Express.
The O's have Ace Hammel going in Game 1 with as struggling Chen in the Middle with Big RHP Jacob Arrieta in the Rubber Game. The O's have arms its just a matter of some of those Arms giving ti O's Solid Innings.
From the Dish the O's have been carried by CF Adam Jones and 1B Chris Davis as they have a combined 8 bombs and 33 Ducks knocked off the pond. The Dodgers woes at the plate start and end with Dynamic CF Matt Kemp who is 10 for 55 with 18 Ks. Fuse all of that with Adrian Gonzalez aka A-Gon leading the Didgers with 2 bombs and 12 ribbies. There is a cause for concern as Dodgers Hitting Coach Mark "Big Mac" McGwire and Assistant Hitting Coach John Valentin have to be scuffling a little trying to figure it out. A-Gon has hit its just not for Power. Carl Crawford has rebounded nicely and is hitting the stitched one all over the diamnond. The Dodgers will hit but they need to start before May.
