The O\u2019s are making the 3.5-hour trip across Florida to West Palm Beach this afternoon, taking on the Astros at CACTI Park. Most of the regulars are staying in Sarasota, but the Birds\u2019 lineup today includes four projected Opening Day starters \u2014 Dylan Beavers, Colton Cowser, Samuel Basallo, and Coby Mayo \u2014 along with a bunch of randos. Interestingly, Beavers is starting in center, with Cowser sliding over to right.<\/p>\n
Mayo, who started at third base yesterday, gets a semi-breather with DH duty this afternoon. Samuel Basallo starts behind the plate, where he hasn\u2019t looked stellar this spring. I guess that\u2019s why you practice. They\u2019ll face veteran Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr.<\/p>\n

The Orioles\u2019 expected pitchers today are all guys who won\u2019t be breaking camp with the team. Levi Wells makes the start, with Andrew Magno, Eric Torres, and Josh Walker scheduled to follow. Prospects like Wells, Trey Gibson, and Luis De Le\u00f3n have all made starts in the past few days, which is nice to see, but I\u2019m sort of wondering where all the actual O\u2019s starting pitchers are. None of the Orioles\u2019 top six guys have started since Chris Bassitt last Friday the 6th. Dean Kremer has the excuse of being away at the World Baseball Classic, but it\u2019s been a minute since we\u2019ve seen any of the others. I assume they\u2019re getting their work in on the back fields and simulated games.<\/p>\n
