Probable Pitchers
Baltimore: RHP Kyle Gibson
Gibson brings veteran stability to the Orioles’ rotation, relying on a sinker‑slider mix and inducing ground balls. He has allowed three runs or fewer in four of his last six starts but has struggled at times with command on the road. His ability to neutralize left‑handed hitters will be key.
Los Angeles: RHP José Soriano
Soriano has been one of the Angels’ bright spots, featuring a high‑velocity fastball and sharp curveball. His strikeout rate has climbed in June, though he has battled occasional walk issues. He has been more effective at home, where his ERA sits below 3.50.
