Orioles send Trevor Rogers, and we should bet to back his hot streak on the mound

We bet on the Toronto Blue Jays, and their starting pitcher, Dylan Cease, was throwing a no-hitter for eight innings before he lost it in the top of the ninth.Interestingly enough, I mentioned that both starters could throw a complete-game shutout.

Cease would've done it if his pitch count was a bit lower — he had 11 strikeouts.Let's try to get another clean sweep today.The Chicago Cubs are in one of their better stretches again.

I've talked quite a bit about how their season has gone when I've covered them in the past.The Cubs have had two ten-game winning streaks and a ten-game losing streak.

That's not common for a team.Offensively, the Cubs are led by Pete Crow-Armstrong, who is quickly becoming one of the most polarizing figures in the game.

The Cubs went out and traded for today's starter, David Peterson.His first start with the Cubbies did not go well, giving up 10 earned runs on nine hits in 3.2 innings.Perhaps something can be adjusted with his mechanics, because he has been fine in some games and awful in others.

The good news is that Orioles hitters have not hit Peterson well, batting just .139 against him in 36 at-bats.Chicago Cubs pitcher David Peterson (19) delivers a pitch against the Milwaukee Brewers in the first inning at American Family Field.(Michael McLoone/Imagn Images)The Baltimore Orioles' season has been...
