Mazur is has the unenviable task of following Dylan Cease, who threw the second no-hitter in franchise history on Thursday. No pressure, kid.

Prediction
Adam Mazur takes the mound for the Padres with a shaky 7.84 ERA, allowing 14 hits and 9 runs in his last 8.2 innings. In contrast, Grayson Rodriguez of the Orioles boasts a 3.83 ERA and has allowed only 19 hits in his last 23.1 innings. Given the disparity in performance between the two starters and the Orioles' recent success, give Baltimore the edge in Game 1 of the series.
