Gausman Has Been Awful On The Road
Kevin Gausman will make his 13th road start of the season when he takes the bump Saturday, but he will still be in search of his first road win of the year. Gausman is 0-8 with a 5.37 ERA in his 12 road starts this season – with the Baltimore Orioles going 3-9 in those affairs. The O’s will continue their high-stakes weekend series with the San Francisco Giants tonight.
Madison Bumgarner will hope he can actually get some run support when he takes the mound. MadBum has a 2.20 ERA through his past seven starts, but the Giants have plated two or fewer runs in four of those outings.
If the Giants’ current slump has been good for one thing, it has been their consistent UNDER trend. The UNDER is 7-1 in San Fran’s past eight games and is 18-7 since the All-Star break.
