Neither Jeremy Guthrie of the Baltimore Orioles nor Mike Pelfrey of the New York Mets has been particularly sharp lately, and when you add in two capable offenses, there should be lot of scoring at Camden Yards tonight.

The Orioles were expecting big things from Guthrie this season, as he has had some of the toughest luck in baseball the last few years, pitching very well with no run support. Guthrie cannot make that claim this year as he has been a major disappointment, going 4-6 with a 5.52 ERA and 1.45 WHIP. He has been even worse than that in his last three starts, going 0-2 with an atrocious 8.53 ERA and 1.66 WHIP, so he is showing no signs of turning it around.

Pelfrey has always been inconsistent, and this year is no exception. He is 4-2, but that is due to some nice run support. He has a 4.58 ERA and 1.47 WHIP, and he has been simply brutal on the road, where he owns a 6.33 ERA and 1.78 WHIP. Yes, he is coming off of a fine outing where he held the Philadelphia Phillies to two earned runs in six innings, but Pelfrey has been too erratic to expect a second straight good effort, especially on the road.

He is also facing a Baltimore offense that scored 11 runs on Sunday and eight runs on Saturday, so look for a slugfest here tonight.
