Big 4 for O's could help you at Fan Duel!

While the Baltimore Orioles have been playing good ball over the start of the first few weeks the team has four hot starters in the top 5 spots in the lineup. The four include leadoff hitter Nate McLouth, Manny Machado, Adam Jones and Chris Davis.

All four of these guys are must start in all fantasy leagues including on FanDuel where you can set daily fantasy lineups to win real money!

The four combined for 12 hits in 20 at bats in yesterdays game while McLouth and Machado each picked up 4 hits. Machado joins Baltimore Orioles Hall Of Famer Brooks Robinson as the only 20 year olds in team history with 4 hits in a game.

In addition to the 12 hits yesterday each of these players have put up some big stats this year with McLouth leading the American League in on base percentage while Chris Davis leads the American League in home-runs.

Look for the O's top half of the lineup to continue to hit and if they can get production out of the bottom four the rest of the American League will have to watch out.

Zach Britton looks to get Orioles big win in Seattle!

The Baltimore Orioles coming off a four game series against the Oakland A's in which the team had the chance for the sweep on Sunday. With Jim Johnson being used 5 of the previous 6 days the team elected to stay with Brian Matusz who gave up a game tying two run shot in the ninth before losing in the tenth.

Look for Zach Britton who was recently called up to keep the O's rolling on this ten game road trip. Britton will go up against former Orioles starter Joe Saunders in game 1 of the three game series against the Mariners.

Britton was 1-0 in three starts for the Norfolk Tides before getting called up. While not striking out many Britton used his fast sinker to induce a lot of ground balls helping him pitch to a 1.98 era in the three games. Britton will go up against a Mariners team who struggle facing lefties. If Britton want's to stay in the rotation he will need to pitch well or you could see the team make another move and bring up the veteran Freddy Garcia.
