Well, we didn't have much luck on the diamond yesterday but I am looking for us to rebound tonight. If we lose this one, I will stay off the Orioles until after the All Star Break... at least for the article plays.

Chicago Cubs vs. Baltimore Orioles Prediction
The Orioles were swept for the first time in two years last May and I am not sure if it has happened since, if it has it had to be one, two times max. This team has been exceptional the last few seasons and they tend to be even better at Camden Yards. Getting swept in the first series of their home stand before the All Star Break is not what I would call keeping momentum going for the O's.
Despite the New York Yankees spiraling, they are still just a handful of games back and the Boston Red Sox are charging. They by no means whatsoever have things locked up in the division and they do not want to let teams gain ground going into the break. Albert Suarez has the ball for the O's and he has been much better at home this season than he has been on the road and I expect him to have a strong outing tonight.
Cubs southpaw Justin Steele has then ball for the Cubs and is looking to roll momentum forward from his last start but he has not had much success this season overall and the O's are hungry for a bounce back here. They are one of the best teams in the league against left-handed pitching and after leaving 11 men on base yesterday, they need to get something going tonight.
