The Baltimore Orioles (77-56) and Los Angeles Dodgers (78-54) play the 2nd game of a 3-game series Wednesday at Dodger Stadium at 10:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Orioles vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Orioles lead 1-0
The O’s outlasted the Dodgers Tuesday night with a 3-2 W. 3B Ramon Urias hit a 2-run homer in the 5th to go up 3-2, and the bullpen locked it down from there. The pen pitched 4 2/3 IP with 0 ER, 2 H and 4 K. The O’s have won 3 of 4 and trail the New York Yankees by 1 game in the AL East.
The Dodgers had their chances, chasing Baltimore’s starter after 4 1/3 innings, but they failed to tack on. DH Shohei Ohtani had 2 hits as he continues his incredible offensive season. He’s hitting .294 with 41 homers, 94 RBIs, 101 runs and 40 steals.

Orioles at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 6, Orioles 5
Moneyline
This is a legit pick ’em as both starters have been hideous of late. The Dodgers’ bats have cooled with 5 runs in the last 2 games, but they’re ready to break out. They’re at home, and Burnes does not have good history against them.
Take the DODGERS -110.
Run line/Against the spread
I’m taking SHOHEI OHTANI OVER 1.5 H+R+RBI (-149). He doesn’t have a ton of ABs against Burnes (1-for-3 lifetime), but this wager has cashed in 5 of 6 games.
Over/Under
It’s expected to be 72 degrees with a 9-mph wind blowing out to straightaway center.
That spells havoc for a couple of stud pitchers that are anything but studly right now.
Take the OVER 8.5 (-120) as this is my favorite bet of the 3.
