It's hard to have any faith in 37-year-old right-hander Kyle Gibson, who was shelled in his season debut on April 29, giving up 11 hits, five home runs, and nine earned runs over just 2 1/2 innings against the Yankees. Meanwhile, Royals starter Michael Lorenzen enters with an offspeed run value that ranks in the 3rd percentile on Baseball Savant and a below-league-average strikeout rate of 19.2%. Despite early struggles at the plate from Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson, the Orioles still have enough firepower to plate runs and turn this into a high-scoring affair.
