Orioles at Brewers picks and predictions
Prediction
Brewers 4, Orioles 3
Moneyline
The BREWERS (-150) are a decent play as moderate favorites against the road-weary Orioles (+125).
Baltimore might be running out of gas a little bit lately, as it will be playing its 11th road game in the last 17 games since May 19. The O’s have posted a solid 7-3 record in the previous 10 outings away from home, but they have managed just 14 total runs of offense in the last 4 outings.
Milwaukee has started to heat up, winning 4 of the last 5 games, while averaging 4.8 runs per contest. The Brewers lead the majors with 15 interleague victories, too.
Run line/Against the spread
The ORIOLES +1.5 (-165) aren’t a bad play at this price point if you cannot play Baltimore straight up.
The O’s didn’t win in Tuesday’s interleague series opener, but Baltimore covered on the run line as an underdog. It is 8-2 in the last 10 games as an underdog on the run line, including 6 outright victories.
The Brewers won as the favorite Tuesday, but it failed to cover the run line. That’s been a theme lately, as Milwaukee is 0-4 in the last 4 on the run line when favored, winning 2 of the games straight up.

Over/Under
The UNDER 8 (-115) is the lean, but go very lightly.
I know it’s a little hacky to predict the same exact score as Tuesday’s series opener, but based on the ERA of Burnes and Kremer, it’s a solid number.
The lean is to the Under because the Brewer have cashed the Under at a 6-1 clip across the last 7 games overall, while going 10-3-1 in the last 14 outings.
The Under is 3-1 for the O’s in the last 4 games, and 6-3 in the last 9 games. It is also 4-1 in the previous 5 contests on the road.
