In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 1 HR, and 2 BB with 2 Ks on 8 hits through 5 IP against the New York Yankees. 

The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a slight favorite in this game. The Rays have not been playing very well in their recent games. They have been losing a lot of games recently and their offense has not been very good as they are not scoring many runs in those games either. The Orioles have been playing very well recently and have continued the pace they were at going into the All-Star break. They have already won 2 games against the Rays in this series and they have been a very good team at home all season. Lyles is starting here and he has been great in his recent starts as well, he should have no problems pitching against this struggling Rays lineup. The Rays do not have a starter confirmed yet but their pitching has not been able to do much against the Orioles in this series and the Orioles are hitting well right now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game at home.
