Two surprisingly good pitchers as of late, Nathan Eovaldi (6-2, 3.71 ERA) and Chris Tillman (7-1, 2.92 ERA), open up the series in Baltimore. Eovaldi is coming off six innings of one run ball against the Rays. He has only allowed two runs over his last three starts, spanning 18 innings. His current five game win streak is a career best.
