Orioles, Nationals open set at Camden Yards
Baseball Betting Lines
06/25/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The woeful Baltimore Orioles enter the weekend with
momentum - sort of - when they begin a three-game interleague series with the
nearby Washington Nationals tonight at Camden Yards.
Baltimore, which has five fewer wins than any team in the majors and has won
just 12 times in 35 home games, picked up a rare 'W' on Thursday night when it
downed Florida, 11-5, to wrap up a three-game series.
Miguel Tejada hit a three-run homer and finished with four RBI and three runs
scored as the Orioles avoided a sweep.
Craig Tatum posted three hits, two runs scored and an RBI while Julio Lugo
scored twice with an RBI for the Orioles, who put the brakes on a three-game
skid. Adam Jones homered and Luke Scott drove in two runs in the victory.
Kevin Millwood (2-8) started for Baltimore and picked up the win after he
tossed five innings and allowed four runs on eight hits.
Precocious right-hander Jake Arrieta, who turned 24 in March, makes the fourth
start of his brief major-league career for the Orioles, who trail the first-
place New York Yankees by 25 games in the American League's East Division.
A fifth-round draft pick in 2007 out of Texas Christian, Arrieta debuted on
June 10 against the Yankees and picked up a 4-3 win after allowing four hits
and three runs in six innings.
He made it two straight with an interleague road win at San Francisco five
days later, before losing for the first time on June 20 at San Diego after
allowing five hits and six runs in just three innings.
Overall, in 16 big-league innings, Arrieta has walked nine and struck out nine
while surrendering 12 hits and nine earned runs.
Washington, which has won 13 times in 37 road tries, counters with 27-year-old
righty J.D. Martin, who made 15 starts as a rookie last season and is still
seeking win No. 1 in 2010.
The California native was 5-4 with a 4.44 earned run average in his 2009
unveiling, allowing an opposition batting average of .279 and striking out 37
batters in 77 innings.
He reached the rotation this season on May 29 against San Diego and dropped a
4-2 verdict, and has since lost two of three with a no-decision in spite of
allowing only 10 earned runs in 25 1/3 innings and walking one batter with 18
strikeouts.
Martin, who's been charged with two road losses in three starts, has never
faced the Orioles.
On Wednesday, Jose Guillen's single in the fifth inning scored David DeJesus
with the only run of the game, as the Kansas City Royals defeated Stephen
Strasburg and the Nationals, 1-0, in the finale of a three-game interleague
series.
Adam Dunn had two of the six hits for the Nationals, who despite winning the
series, have dropped seven of nine.
Strasburg (2-1) was saddled with his first major league loss in his fourth
career start. The rookie right-hander worked six innings, allowing one run on
nine hits and fanning nine without issuing a walk. He threw 95 pitches, 75 for
strikes.
The former No. 1 overall pick lowered his earned run average to 1.78 and has
now struck out 41 batters in 25 1/3 innings this season.
Washington took two of three from the O's earlier in the year.
