Two of the top teams in the American League go at it tonight on the national stage as the Houston Astros visit the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday Night Baseball. The Orioles have taken two of the first three games of this series and are looking to make it a 3-1 series win with a victory tonight at Camden Yards.
Both teams are in the thick of their respective division races as well. Baltimore trails the Yankees by just a half-game in the American League East while Houston holds a 4.5-game lead over the Seattle Mariners in the American League West.
Tonight’s pitching matchup will feature trade deadline pickup Yusei Kikuchi throwing for the Astros and Dean Kremer taking the mound for the Orioles.

- Do Your Research: Analyze team performance, player injuries, and matchups to make informed decisions.
