Let's look at each team's biggest overachiever and underachiever. BALTIMORE ORIOLES OVERACHIEVER: Since CHRIS DAVIS hit .270 with 33 homers and 85 RBIs last season, it's not really a surprise he is a big offensive contributor for the Orioles. That he has put up Triple Crown-type numbers (.333, 20 homers, 52 RBI) has been a bit unex |

| Baltimore, MD (BettingExpress) - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim activated outfielder Peter Bourjos from the 15-day disabled list Monday prior to the team's three-game series opener with the Baltimore Orioles.

In the 22 games played prior to getting injured, Bourjos was boasting a .313 batting average with two homers and eight RBI. In a corresponding r |

Getting the call for the Astros on Monday will be lefty Dallas Keuchel, who has won his last two starts. Keuchel beat the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday, limiting them to just a run and five hits over six innings to improve to 3-2 on the season with a 4.70 ERA. This will be Keuchel's first-ever start versus the Mariners. Houston has won four of six from Seattle this season. |
