Team Previews

Baltimore Orioles: The Orioles have showcased a balanced attack this season, sitting 4th in team ERA (3.63) and 1st in saves (38). Offensively, they rank 12th in runs (509) but have struggled with consistency in the past few games, losing their last two. Key players like José Ramírez have been crucial to their offensive success, leading the team in home runs with 29 and RBIs with 93.

Cleveland Guardians: The Guardians are 3rd in the league for runs scored (560) and have a solid batting average of .254. Their pitching has been above average as well, with a team ERA of 3.89.
