I said "tonight." But maybe Bridwell became a ground ball pitcher. 

"Tonight for the Orioles."

Just feeling that with the defense , Bridwell has the better chance. But in the game itself tonight...Hellickson, because of the Orioles offense right now and the defense.

Hellickson. He's ours.

Hellickson. He's been around the block a few times. Has Bridwell ever faced a line up like the O's? Hellickson just has to worry about Trout.

Bridwell has had great outings in NY & Boston, he's kicked Bostons butt twice I believe.

I would go with Hellickson. Wasn't really impressed with Bridwell when I saw him pitch for the O's. But I would not give Hellickson anything more than 52-48 odds of winning this game. 

Our lineup is certainly much better. Our Bpen is better. The Angels are still the favorites. ? Vegas doesn't like Hellickson.

If you believe Hellickson is the better pitcher, then the odds should be better than 52-48, because we are the better offensive team by a pretty wide margin.

I struggle to pick against an oriole, I'd probably vote Ubaldo over Kershaw if we were facing LAD. I think Bridwell is the better pitcher today. It would be nice to have another LH in the lineup and Davis not be so useless. This would be a nice Pedro DH night.

Knowing everything that you do. One game. Money no issue. Who do you want on the mound tonight for the Orioles.

Simple A/B

Of course explain your choice below.

I voted Hellickson.

I don't think Bridwell will be very effective against our lineup - I just feel like we're on fire right now, and the momentum is solidly in our favor. That, and Bridwell's last outing was pretty bad. 

We've had success against pitchers with better track records than Bridwell in recent weeks. And I'm hopeful that Hellickson can pull a Beckham and be a star for the O's after coming over.

Vegas doesn't like us on the road.

True. The last time we were a dog was Miley in Texas. He was barely a dog in that one, but that's the most recent time the O's were a dog prior to last night.

I would rather have Hellickson pitch tonight  But the Dilemma is Bridwell will likely want to show the O's up because of them letting him leave.

Hellickson has the track record. He's pitched in big games before and has been successful in the AL east, which is one of the toughest division year in and year out.

Bridwell looked very good. Oof.

[Legend_Of_Joey]

I was the only one who voted for Bridwell in the poll?

Well...Alrighty then.

I thought Bridwell got away with a lot of fat pitches.
