Dodgers @ Orioles
At Oriole Park at Camden Yards
RHP
4-4, 3.40 ERA, 82 SO
Stripling is a true swingman, with 13 starts and 15 relief appearances. He has a 3.38 ERA as a starter and 3.57 ERA as a reliever. He threw three scoreless innings in his last start Sept. 1, so more than four innings shouldn’t be expected.
LHP
10-10, 3.47 ERA, 109 SO
The Orioles pushed Means back for an extra day of rest, in part because the lefty is approaching his career high in innings. That hasn't kept the rookie from finishing strong, though. Means owns a 2.45 ERA over his past four starts.

At Rogers Centre
LHP
0-0, 7.88 ERA, 6 SO

RHP
3-4, 4.26 ERA, 82 SO

Pirates @ Giants
At Oracle Park
RHP
4-4, 4.91 ERA, 30 SO
