Guardians at Orioles picks and predictions
Prediction
Orioles 5, Guardians 3
Moneyline
With Gibson having a renaissance of sorts to begin the season, the ORIOLES (-155) are the pick. The Orioles are 16-11 at home while the Guardians are 12-14 on the road.
Run line/Against the spread
ORIOLES -1.5 (+135) has solid value with Quantrill taking the bump for the Guardians. Quantrill isn’t missing bats with a minuscule 12.4% strikeout rate and the Orioles potentially have 5 players in their lineup who have a barrel rate of 7% or higher.
