Game Overview
Baltimore Orioles host Houston Astros in a late August MLB matchup featuring strong pitching from Orioles' Trevor Rogers versus struggling Astros' Spencer Arrighetti. Orioles are underdogs seasonally but the pitching matchup and recent form favor Baltimore despite Astros' better overall record.
Key Factors to Consider

- Recent series favored Astros offensively, but Orioles have edged pitching matchups. Last five games between these teams have trended over total runs.
- No major injuries reported impacting starting pitchers or key lineups for this game.
- Orioles have home-field advantage at Camden Yards, which historically boosts their Sunday afternoon performance. Astros show fatigue effects in day games following previous day matches.
