Houston Astros vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction: Orioles should respond with a win in this game 2

Game 2 of a three-game series between the Houston Astros will take place with the Baltimore Orioles at Minute Maid Park. The Houston Astros have the lead after the opener. Can the Orioles respond with a win here?

The Houston Astros were brilliant in the opener of this series, scoring 14 runs and winning by three margins. In the meantime, the host will come into this game looking to improve their record following wins in their prior series against the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers. This season in the MLB, the Houston Astros have a 36-40 record and are positioned 9th in the American League standings. 

The Baltimore Orioles will look to get their luck in this game 2 following a defeat in the opener despite scoring 11 runs. In the meantime, this side had just defeated the New York Yankees 5-7 in the finale of their series. In their last four series, the Baltimore Orioles have won each, defeating the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves, Tampa Bay Rays and the New York Yankees. The Baltimore Orioles have a 49-26 record at the moment and are 2nd in the American League East Division.

We witnessed competition at its peak in the opener, and we could expect more decent play from the two sides in game 2. However, I trust the Baltimore Orioles to respond in this game two by winning, having looked at how good they have been. Despite this, I do not expect the two teams' level of attack to drop, and we could be in for another high-scoring game.
