The Baltimore Orioles (27-56) and Los Angeles Angels (41-41) play the finale of a three-game set Sunday at Angel Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 4:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Orioles vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.
RHP Thomas Eshelman is the projected starting pitcher for the Orioles. He is 0-1 with a 6.57 ERA, 1.70 WHIP, 2.9 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 in 12 1/3 IP over 3 starts.
Eshelman allowed two runs, five hits and three walks in 3 2/3 innings in a no-decision last time out Monday in Houston. The Orioles have won two of Eshelman’s three starts.
LHP Patrick Sandoval is the projected starting pitcher for the Angels. He is 2-2 with a 3.89 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 9.4 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 in 44 IP over 7 starts and 3 relief appearances.

- Money line: Orioles +200 (bet $100 to win $200) | Angels -250 (bet $250 to win $100)
- Against the spread/ATS: Orioles +1.5 (+105) | Angels -1.5 (-130)

Prediction
Angels 7, Orioles 4
Money line (ML)
The Angels (-250) will cost you two-and-a-half times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk for not enough return. Over the long haul, it’s a poor betting strategy.
AVOID.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The ANGELS -1.5 (-130) are a more sound play on the run line. They won Saturday’s game by a 4-1 count, and eight of their past nine victories have been by two or more runs.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER (-105) is the lean in Sunday’s finale despite the Under result Saturday. Eshelman vs. Sandoval won’t be mistaken for Jim Palmer vs. Nolan Ryan anytime soon. They’ll both allow plenty. In fact, the Over has cashed in each of Sandoval’s past four outings. The Over is also 11-6-1 in the previous 18 for the O’s.
