The O's start Brad Bergeson. He is 3-3 on the year with a 6.10 ERA and a .335 BAA. In 41.1 innings pitched this year, he has allowed a whopping 60 hits. And get this, he has as many walks (13) as strike outs. In his last 2 starts he allowed 21 hits and 3 walks in 11.2 innings. At home this year his ERA is 6.00 and his BAA is .325.
Meanwhile, the A's start Gonzalez. This converted reliever has been a find for the A's. He is 5-3 on the year with a 3.46 ERA and a .205 BAA. He is 2-1 on the road with a 4.22 ERA and a .276 BAA, but that is skewed by a recent bad outing against the Rangers in Texas. In his last 2 starts he went 15 innings, allowing only 6 hits and 5 walks. For the entire month of May he is 3-2 with a 3.31 ERA and, get this, a .179 BAA. For his career against the O's he is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA. The Orioles bat only .257 against lefties, and they average only 3.30 runs against them.
The A's are 14-3 the last 17 times they faced the O's.
Good Luck!
