Orioles at Braves picks and predictions
Prediction
Braves 6, Orioles 3
Moneyline
PASS.
Even with Strider on the mound, taking the Braves (-250) to win straight up in Saturday’s interleague matchup isn’t advised at the current odds.
Run line/Against the spread
BET BRAVES -1.5 (-120).
Atlanta has won by multiple runs in 4 of Strider’s first 6 starts and it has a massive pitching advantage Saturday. The Orioles have been a fun team to watch this season, but Strider should do a solid job limiting them.

Over/Under
OVER 8 (-115) has good value despite Strider drawing the start for the Braves. Both of these teams have a combined 39-24-2 record to the Over this season.
The Braves are also 5-0 to the Over in Strider’s last 5 starts, while the Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Atlanta.
