Baltimore Form & Recent Results
Baltimore heads into this matchup feeling a little better after snapping things back in the right direction with a win, giving them a one-game winning streak. That said, the recent stretch hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing, since they had dropped three of their last five games before Friday. Two of those losses came at home against the Cubs, and the other was on the road in Cincinnati against the Reds, so it’s been a mix of missed chances both at Camden Yards and away from it.
Their most recent game was a tight 3–2 victory over the Cubs at home on Thursday, and they got a big moment from right fielder Tyler O’Neill, who finished 1-for-3 but made it count by launching a home run. He also scored a run and drove one in, providing the key power in an otherwise low-scoring game. On the mound, starter Trevor Rogers delivered a solid outing, going six innings while giving up five hits and just one earned run. He walked two and struck out four, keeping Chicago from putting together any big innings. Baltimore’s offense only produced one homer in that win, which was O’Neill’s, so it wasn’t a huge power night overall, even though the Orioles do have plenty of pop on the season. First baseman Pete Alonso leads the team with 20 home runs and also tops the club in RBI with 62, while shortstop Gunnar Henderson sits right behind him in homers with 16. For batting average, left fielder Taylor Ward has been the most consistent, leading Baltimore at .255. Lately, run prevention has been a bit of a concern, with the Orioles giving up an average of 4.8 runs per game over their last five, but they’ll be looking to tighten that up and take advantage of a struggling Kansas City team at home on Saturday. So far in July, Baltimore has put together a 4–3 record, showing they’ve been competitive even if they haven’t been completely dominant.
Kansas City Form & Recent Results
Kansas City comes into this matchup trying to shake off a rough patch, as they’ve dropped two straight. Even so, the bigger picture shows they’ve been fairly competitive lately, winning three of their previous five games before Friday. That stretch included a big road win over the Mets in Queens, along with two home victories against the Phillies, so they’ve shown they can beat quality teams in different environments. Still, the Royals haven’t quite built steady momentum, and their 3–5 record in July reflects that up-and-down feel so far this month.

In Thursday’s 7–3 loss to the Mets, shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. provided one of the few bright spots at the plate, finishing 1-for-4 with a home run while also scoring a run and driving in another. Power has been a clear strength for Kansas City this season, led by right fielder Jac Caglianone, who paces the team with 14 homers. Witt Jr. and catcher Carter Jensen are close behind with 13 each, and Jensen has been especially productive in run-scoring situations, leading the Royals with 49 RBIs. Witt Jr. has also been their most consistent hitter overall, carrying a team-best .288 batting average. Offensively, Kansas City has been putting runs on the board in bunches lately, averaging 8.2 runs over their last five games, and they’ll try to keep that attack rolling when they take on the Orioles on Saturday.
Key Stats
- Kansas City’s Bobby Witt Jr. this season: 13 HRs, 39 RBI, .288 AVG

Kansas City vs. Baltimore Picks and Prediction
Kansas City’s bats have been on a real tear lately. They just outslugged the Mets in a wild 16–12 game and the game before, they absolutely crushed the Phillies 15–1, so the offense is clearly locked in right now. They’ll try to keep that momentum going on Saturday when they run into Kyle Bradish and the Orioles. Bradish has put together a 5–9 record with a 3.75 ERA this year, giving Baltimore a fairly steady arm to lean on. Kansas City will counter with Noah Cameron, who’s 5–6 with a 4.77 ERA, and he’ll be looking to slow down the Orioles long enough for the Royals’ lineup to stay hot. Final Score Prediction, Baltimore Orioles win 10-3.
