Orioles at Brewers picks and predictions
Prediction
Orioles 5, Brewers 3
Moneyline
The ORIOLES (+100) are worth a look as short ‘dogs in this interleague series opener.
Baltimore has been hot lately, winning 3 straight road series, and it has Gibson on the bump. He has been one of the hottest pitchers in the American League, winning 3 consecutive starts while allowing just 4 ER. In addition, Gibson hasn’t allowed a homer in 4 consecutive outings.
Run line/Against the spread
The ORIOLES -1.5 (+155) are worth a look on the moneyline, but go lightly.
As a favorite, Baltimore cashed on the run line in Sunday’s series finale, and the O’s are 7-4 in the past 11 games as a favorite on the run line.
While the Brewers +1.5 (-190) are 14-10 against the AL, tied for the most wins in the majors in interleague play, Milwaukee is just 5-6 in the past 11 games overall, and Peralta has been very giving.

Over/Under
The UNDER 8.5 (+100) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.
The Under is 5-1 in the last 6 games for the Brewers, while going 9-3-1 in the past 13 games overall.
For the O’s, the Under is 15-5-1 in the past 21 interleague road games, while going 5-2 in the last 7 interleague road games against a right-handed starting pitcher.
