Taylor Ward has 89 hits with 19 doubles and 24 RBIs while Gunnar Henderson has 84 hits with 16 doubles, 16 home runs and 40 RBIs and Pete Alonso has 87 hits with 16 doubles, 20 home runs and 62 RBIs.

Samuel Basallo has 65 hits with 9 doubles, 14 home runs and 42 RBIs.
I’m on the Orioles in this one. Brandon Young has been one of the most profitable pitchers in baseball this season and I think that continues here as well. Even if both starters have decent outings here, the Orioles have the sturdier bullpen and I look for that to hold true here. Give me Baltimore.
