The Baltimore Orioles Try To Snap Their Losing Streak Against Seattle
The Baltimore Orioles Try To Snap Their Losing Streak Against SeattleThe Baltimore Orioles have had a tough time on their west coast road trip, but will try to get back on the winning track against a former player.


Betting baseball will make the long season more exciting and there is no place better to wager on major league baseball than BetPhoenix. Online sportsbook BetPhoenix has the latest odds and wagering opportunities on every game in baseball.

Erik Bedard is finally pitching like the Seattle Mariners envisioned when they acquired him from the Baltimore Orioles over three years ago.

Bedard looks to win his fourth straight decision and lead the Mariners to their 11th victory in 13 games when he takes the mound against his former team Tuesday night. Seattle obtained Bedard as part of a six-player trade in February 2008 after he went 13-5 for Baltimore the previous season. The left-hander has won only 14 games since then, however, as much of his time with the Mariners has been plagued by injuries.

Bedard has made five trips to the disabled list since the trade and missed all of last season while recovering from left shoulder surgery - his third in as many years. He got off to another rough start to this season, recording a 7.71 ERA in losing his first four outings, but he’s 3-0 with a 1.09 ERA in five starts since.

Bedard (3-4, 3.48) extended his scoreless innings streak to 15.

Bedard is still seeking his first win at Safeco Field since defeating Minnesota on June 7, 2009, a span of eight starts. He beat the Orioles at home five days earlier and is 1-0 with a 2.61 ERA in two games against them, striking out 15 in 10 1-3 innings.

Bedard could be in line for another strong performance against struggling Baltimore (24-28).

The Mariners (27-26) won Monday’s series opener 4-3, sending the Orioles to their fourth straight defeat following a five-game winning streak. Baltimore has scored 11 runs and is batting .129 (4 for 31) with runners in scoring position during its skid.

Nick Markakis, Baltimore’s No. 3 hitter, is 2 for 15 (.133) in the last four games, while cleanup hitter Vladimir Guerrero is 3 for 15 (.200) with two RBIs.

While the Orioles are trying to avoid their first five-game skid since dropping a season-high eight in a row April 9-18, Seattle is an AL-best 10-2 since May 18.

The Mariners are just playing better baseball and with a better pitcher on the hill, they will beat the Orioles.
