Billy Strings kicked off two nights at Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica in Cleveland, OH Tuesday night. Hot off a two-night stand in Indianapolis and currently in the midst of a whirlwind U.S. tour, Strings and his trusty band of Billy Failing, Royal Masat, Jarrod Walker, and Alex Hargreaves have been at the top of their game, and last night was no exception. The band threw down yet another heater leaning less on the bluegrass canon and more on Billy’s original tunes—an inspiring show of self-confidence after the bluegrass superstar admitted to fans in Indianapolis that he had struggled with anxiety to the point of having a panic attack before his previous show.
The first set opened with a tour through Strings’ discography with “Everything’s the Same” (off 2019’s Home), “Hellbender” (off 2021’s Renewel), and “Taking Water” (Home). The band then reached into its back catalog to give “Salty Sheep” its first taste of open pastures since summer 2022. The song off 2017’s Turmoil & Tinfoil recently took on added meaning after Les Claypool referred to Strings as “salty” because of his unique upbringing and the life experience that comes through in his music.

After the first covers of the night, “Stone Walls and Steel Bars” by The Stanley Brothers and “West Dakota Rose” by Chris Henry, one of the night’s major highlights arrived as Billy played a solo “Guitar Peace”, slipping in a tease of The Beatles‘ “Here Comes The Sun” before the band joined back in during a seamless transition to Pink Floyd‘s “Fearless” (a song he covered during his last trip to Cleveland back in March 2022). After completing the memorable sequence, the band capped set one with a fiery jam on “Meet Me at the Creek”.
Set two opened with a cover of “Freeborn Man” by Keith Allison but then proceeded with mostly originals including “Secrets” and a particularly jamming pair of “Running the Route” > “Running”. Two additional covers, “Ready for the Times to Get Better” by Allen Reynolds, and “Sophronie” by Jimmy Martin, gave way to an emotionally raw and beautiful “While I’m Waiting Here”—another improvisational highlight of the night for Strings’ musically discerning fans, whose appreciation of depth rivals their need for speed.
The band threw the audience for one more loop with a “Pyramid Country” fake-out before concluding the show with a sequence of “Must Be Seven” > “Pyramid Country” > “Spinning”, followed by one more cover, Doc Watson‘s “My Love Comes Rolling Down”, and a pairing of fan favorite “Fire Line” and the traditional “Reuben’s Train”.

Orioles vs. Guardians Prediction, Odds and Key Players for Friday, August 2

Two powerhouse contenders are squaring off this weekend in Cleveland, part of a massive four-game series that is going to help answer some questions about what we may see come October. The Baltimore Orioles and Cleveland Guardians are well in contention for a championship and it takes center stage all weekend long.
The Orioles continue a titanic battle in the American League East with the Yankees at 65-45, while the Guardians continue to shine with a current league-best 66-42 record. Both teams have surprisingly impressed this season, especially the young but mighty Guardians. Here’s how to play this Friday matchup.
Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook
Run Line:
Moneyline:
Total:
Colton Cowser: Part of the rich youth pool of talent, the Orioles may have found a true gem with Colton Cowser. The 24-year-old left fielder has extended his active hitting streak to 14 games, recording one in each game since the all-star break. His average has increased from .219 to .247 in that span, along with 4 home runs and 13 RBI. His hitting streak is tied for the 2nd most active one in all of the MLB, behind Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (14) and Ezequial Tovar (17). Cowser is making 2024 a memorable inaugural full season.
Jose Ramirez: There may not be anyone hitting the ball better right now across all of the MLB like Guardians slugger Jose Ramirez. He opened this series on Thursday with a 2-run blast, marking his 3rd consecutive game with a home run. Ramirez has a ridiculous ledger of 3 home runs and 8 RBI in his previous three games. His 28 home runs and 90 RBI this season place him in the top 10 across all players. He continues to provide the power on this feisty, young team. Ramirez is the offensive spark the Guardians must turn to in their run to the postseason.
This is an exciting change of pace to the normal juggernauts that we have seen through the years in baseball. While we don’t quite know if these two will be near the top of the standings in October, all that matters is that both are positioning themselves for it. A pair of unlikely division leaders are battling for a little summer glory in Cleveland.
Dean Kremer takes the hill for the Orioles on Friday. A lot of uncertainty surrounds this start as he’s amassed mixed results for much of 2024. Currently at 4-7 with a 4.20 ERA, 73 strikeouts and 14 home runs allowed, it hasn’t been pretty but at least is passable. Kremer anchors the No. 4 spot in this rotation and has yet to find much consistency. Last time out on Saturday against San Diego, he tossed 6 innings, allowing 4 runs (1 earned), 7 hits, a walk and 7 strikeouts. The Orioles have not provided him the best run support lately, with the team being 2-5 in his last seven outings.
Carlos Carrasco holds the fort down for the Guardians in this one. It’s been a lackluster season with a 3-9 record, a 5.68 ERA and 79 strikeouts. The month of July was very unkind to him, allowing 19 earned runs and 6 home runs across a total of five starts. Carrasco additionally has allowed 6 runs in each of his prior two outings. He is currently 20th in all of the MLB in home runs allowed (17), but a lower walk rate with just 27 free passes allowed. The 37-year-old is clearly beginning to hit a decline, and likely will finish his career here where he has so many great memories.
Both teams certainly check a lot of marks offensively and Thursday’s 10-3 Guardians win backed that up. We have another pitching matchup that is not pretty, so it’s absolutely fair to expect a lot of offensive fireworks. The Orioles are superior on paper, ranking 1st in home runs per game, 4th in hits and 3rd in runs.
That’s the way I lean with this prediction. I get the feeling both teams will feed off each other’s energy all weekend long, especially with a lot on the line in this series. I’ll happily back the total to go over 9 runs in Friday’s contest at -115 (FanDuel), especially with a pair of starters that have been less than ideal for most of the year.
Pick: Orioles-Guardians OVER 9 Runs (-115)
