The Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles will get together one final time this afternoon and the winner of this afternoon’s game will take the series after the two teams split the first two games. Cincinnati will look to rookie left-hander Nick Lodolo to the mound while the Orioles will send Austin Voth out there to try and fend off the Reds hitters.
Starting Lineups
Here are the lineups for this afternoon’s contest:
Starting Pitchers
Nick Lodolo
The splits for Lodolo are pretty extreme. Left-handed hitters have not been given many chances to face him, but when they do they have had just a .570 OPS against him. Right-handed hitters, though, are hitting .322/.405/.504 against him – numbers that could put a hitter into MVP conversation.
