Baltimore @ Milwaukee picks

The 23-year-old Henderson has been lights out in two MLB appearances, striking out 16 with seven hits allowed across 11 innings. While that sample size is small, his 34.8% strikeout rate at Triple-A Nashville backs up his ability to make batters miss. The Orioles have an OPS of just .635 on the road and they are 28th in the majors in strikeout rate. Henderson has a tendency to give up fly balls but the 20 mph wind blowing towards the infield today should keep those inside the park. 

The Brewers plate a run in the first inning at the second-lowest rate (20.8%) in the majors and rank 27th in OPS (.654). That OPS drops to just .612 against lefties and the O's will use southpaw Keegan Akin as an opener tonight. Akin has a 3.31 ERA across 100 2/3 innings since the start of last year so he should get the job done in the first inning. Meanwhile, the O's have an OPS of just .635 on the road and will struggle against rookie Logan Henderson who has a 2.45 ERA through two starts. When you also factor in the 19 mph breeze blowing toward the infield tonight, don't expect much offense early.
