Tonight marks the beginning of a three-game series at Camden Yards, where the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals would meet in what has been called the Battle of the Beltways.

The O’s have been hot of late, having taken three of four in Kansas City and then sweeping the rival Red Sox in a shortened series.

The Nationals have been playing better of late as well, taking three out of four in New York from the Mets.

The series is still fairly new between the two close cities and neither team has been good yet, so a true rivalry has not yet set in.
