Lackey Needs to Control Davis & Machado

I looked up the career stats of John Lackey versus the Orioles. Offensively, there are 2 guys that have had a lot of success against him -- Chris Davis & Manny Machado. If he can pitch around these guys or get them to swing at pitcher's pitches, he should be fine. Let someone other than these 2 guys beat you. Opposed by new O's pickup Ubaldo Jimenez, you never know which Ubaldo will show up. He has been plagued with wildness since his trade from Colorado to Cleveland, but he did put together a solid 2nd half of the season for the Indians last year. Time will tell if that was a fluke or if he has found his groove again. I like our chances with Lackey tonight.
