Kremer aims to steady Baltimore on a six-game west coast swing at Oracle Park, hoping to snap a rough stretch. Basallo’s rookie status and lefty Ray provide late-night intrigue as Henderson and Holliday pace the lineup behind Mountcastle and Rivera. Baltimore must lean on timely hits from Cowser and Mayo if they want a chance, while the Giants counter with a lineup featuring Lee, Devers, Chapman, and Gilbert and a start from Ray that could test the young O’s at the plate.

Late-night fantasy angles loom: Kremer’s ability to eat innings, the rookie Basallo’s plate discipline, and the O’s youth movement versus a veteran-laden Giants crew. Baltimore seeks a spark to derail a skid, while San Francisco tries to quiet the Orioles early and push for a road win behind its star-filled lineup.
