Baltimore Orioles vs Oakland Athletics
1
Oakland is the last team in the standings with 51 win and 68 defeats. I do not trust to their pitcher Brooks (1-1) and I think that the odds on another victory of home team has tremendous value. Good luck!

Taylor breaks Statcast record with 493-ft. HR
DENVER -- With Rockies starter Yohan Flande cruising on Thursday, the Nationals needed a lift from someone, anyone. Then Michael Taylor stepped to the plate and delivered in an emphatic way. With two outs in the seventh inning of Washington's eventual 3-2 loss at Coors Field, Taylor launched a game-tying two-run homer to left-center. The long ball, which was projected by Statcast™ to land 493 feet away, was the longest homer Statcast™ has tracked in the Majors this season.
