Analyst Backs Orioles to Avoid 3-Game Sweep as Rogers Brings 35.2 Strong Innings

Summary
Baltimore is the recommended play against Chicago, with the pick centered on the Orioles avoiding a three-game sweep at home.
Trevor Rogers drives that call after allowing seven earned runs over his last 35.2 innings, despite a 6-7 record, 4.70 ERA and 5.02 home ERA.
Chicago starter David Peterson is the main fade after surrendering 10 earned runs in 3.2 innings in his Cubs debut, even though Orioles hitters are batting just .139 against him in 36 at-bats.
The matchup comes with the Cubs on another hot stretch behind Pete Crow-Armstrong, while Baltimore is running short on time in a disappointing season in the AL East.
