Orioles at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 4, Red Sox 2

Moneyline

The Red Sox post the 3rd-worst record (24-32) as a home favorite, lower than the Washington Nationals, Chicago White Sox and Colorado Rockies.

I like tailing that trend, especially with the Orioles currently at plus money and their pitcher with better splits on the road versus at home.

BET ORIOLES (+120).

Run line/Against the spread

Baltimore has the 3rd-best cover rate (46-36) coming off a win. Plus they are 32-16 ATS against the AL East, while Boston is 16-22. Overall the Orioles have the 3rd-best ATS record (80-66), behind 2 teams (Cincinnati Reds and Washington Nationals) with losing records and are often taking points.

Since I already like Baltimore straight up, I would only put half a unit on them to cover too.

LEAN ORIOLES -1.5 (+185).

Over/Under

As a home favorite, Boston has an Under record of 30-23-3 (56.6%). In their last 8 road games, Baltimore is 4-4 on O/U while Boston is 6-2 toward the Under in their last 8 games at home.

LEAN UNDER 9.5 (-120).

Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Baltimore Orioles (82-63) and Boston Red Sox (73-71) play the 2nd game of a 3-game series Tuesday. First pitch from Fenway Park is set for 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Orioles vs. Red Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Orioles lead 7-4

The Orioles dropped their third straight game Monday, losing 12-3 to the Red Sox. SP Cade Povich and RP Burch Smith both struggled, allowing a combined 8 earned runs on 9 hits. The only bright spot for Baltimore was RF Anthony Santander hitting his 40th home run of the season. With the loss, the 2nd-place Orioles find themselves 1½ games behind the AL East-leading New York Yankees.

The Red Sox improved to 3-1 on their current 6-game homestand with Monday’s win. RF Rob Refsnyder had an unforgettable performance, going 4 for 4 with 2 homers, a double, and 5 RBIs. DH Tyler O’Neill matched his power, going 3 for 5 with 2 HRs while CF Ceddanne Rafaela added 4 RBIs to cap off a dominant night for Boston.

Orioles at Red Sox projected starters

RHP Albert Suarez vs. RHP Kutter Crawford

Suarez (7-5, 3.49 ERA) makes his 21st start and 26th appearance. He has a 1.31 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 6.9 K/9 in 113 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 1/3 IP, 6 ER, 8 H, 2 BB, 2 K in 8-1 home defeat against Chicago White Sox Wednesday

Crawford (8-13, 4.08 ERA) makes his 30th start. He has a 1.08 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 in 161 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 IP, 2 ER, 1 H, 2 BB, 8 K in 7-2 road setback against New York Mets Sept. 3

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Orioles at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, Red Sox 3

Moneyline

BET ORIOLES (-108).

The Orioles need a win Tuesday, now 1½ games back of the Yankees in the AL East after Monday’s loss. They’ve done well against the Red Sox this season, taking 7 of the 11 meetings and outscoring Boston 66-54. Even though Baltimore’s hit a rough patch, losing 4 of its last 5, it has still been solid on the road with a 40-30 record.

The Red Sox haven’t been much better lately, dropping 6 of their last 9. With Crawford struggling against the Orioles and Suarez having already shut them down once, Baltimore’s got a good shot to get back on track.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I don’t love the odds, so I’ll keep my focus on the moneyline and total.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9.5 (-118).

The Under has hit in 3 of the last 5 meetings, including the same pitching matchup Aug. 18.

Suarez has been particularly strong in this department, with the Under hitting in 5 of his last 6 starts. Crawford’s also been reliable for Under bettors, with the total going Under in 3 of his last 4 starts. Given these trends and recent performances, betting the Under looks like a smart move.

Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Baltimore Orioles (82-62) and Boston Red Sox (72-71) begin a 3-game series Monday. First pitch from Fenway Park is set for 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Orioles vs. Red Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Orioles lead 7-3

The Orioles lost 2-0 to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday, despite a strong performance from RHP Corbin Burnes, who allowed just 2 runs (LF Jonny DeLuca’s 6th-inning HR) in 6 IP. The Orioles’ offense faltered, going 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and leaving 9 men on base. Baltimore is 2nd in the AL East, a half-game behind the New York Yankees and 9 1/2 games up on 3rd-place Boston.

The Red Sox lost 7-2 to the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, giving up 5 runs in the 9th inning. Despite solo HRs from RF Wilyer Abreu and C Connor Wong, Boston’s offense was flat. RHP Richard Fitts had a solid MLB debut (5 2/3 IP, 2 R 0 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 2 K), but the bullpen couldn’t stop Chicago’s late surge. Boston is 4 games out of the last Wild Card spot.

Orioles at Red Sox projected starters

RHP Albert Suarez vs. RHP Kutter Crawford

Suarez (7-5, 3.49 ERA) makes his 21st start and 26th appearance. He has a 1.31 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 6.9 K/9 in 113 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 1/3 IP, 6 ER, 8 H, 2 BB, 2 K in 8-1 home loss against Chicago White Sox Wednesday
  • 2024 away splits: 4-3, 3.75 ERA (57 2/3 IP, 25 R (24 ER), 1.37 WHIP, 7.2 K/9 in 15 games
  • Last start vs Red Sox: Win, 6 IP, 0 ER, 7 H, 0 BB, 6 K in 4-2 home win Aug. 18

Crawford (8-13, 4.08 ERA) makes his 30th start. He has a 1.08 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 in 161 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 IP, 2 ER, 1 H, 2 BB, 8 K in 7-2 road loss against New York Mets Tuesday
  • 2024 home splits: 4-7, 4.06 ERA (82 IP, 42 R (37 ER), 1.10 WHIP, 8.2 K/9 in 15 starts
  • 2024 vs Orioles: 0-2, 4.41 ERA (16 1/3 IP, 8 ER), 0.93 WHIP, 8.4 K/9 in 3 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Orioles at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 4, Red Sox 2

Moneyline

BET ORIOLES (-102).

Baltimore is right in the mix for the AL East title, just a half-game behind the Yankees, and they’ve had Boston’s number this season, winning 7 of their 10 matchups and outscoring them 63-42. The Orioles have been solid on the road (40-29), and they’re looking to bounce back after dropping 3 of their last 4 at home.

The Red Sox, on the other hand, have been struggling, losing 6 of their last 8 games. Suarez shut down Boston in his earlier start against them, while Crawford has been shaky against Baltimore, going winless in his last 3 starts with 8 ER in 16 1/3 IP.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I don’t love the odds, so I’ll keep my focus on the moneyline and total.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9.5 (-105).

I’m leaning toward the UNDER 9.5 (-105) because recent matchups between these 2 have favored the Under, hitting in 3 of the last 5 games, including this same pitching matchup on Aug. 18. Both teams have hit the Under in 2 of their last 3 games.

Suarez has had the Under hit in 5 of his last 6 starts, and Crawford’s been on a similar run, with the Under hitting in 3 of his last 4 starts. With these trends, it’s looking like a low-scoring game might be on the horizon.

Analyzing Friday’s Tampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Tampa Bay Rays (69-71) and Baltimore Orioles (81-60) open a 3-game series Friday. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is set for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Rays vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Baltimore leads 8-2

Tampa Bay lost 4-3 to the Minnesota Twins Thursday while failing to cover as a +139 home underdog. The loss ended a 2-game win streak for the Rays, who have lost by 1 run in each of their last 3 losses.

Baltimore was destroyed 8-1 by the Chicago White Sox Wednesday as a -317 home favorite. The loss ended a 3-game win streak for the Orioles.

Rays at Orioles projected starters

RHP Shane Baz vs. Dean Kremer

Baz (2-2, 3.49 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 3.7 BB/9 and 7.5 K/9 in 49 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 5 IP, 2 ER, 2 H, 3 BB, 5 K in an 11-4 outing vs. San Diego Saturday
  • Career vs. Baltimore: 0-0, 0.00 ERA (6 IP, 0 ER), 2 H, 0 BB, 7 K in 1 start

  • Last start: Loss, 3 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 3 K in 7-5 loss to Colorado Rockies on Aug. 31

Rays at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, Rays 4

Moneyline

BET ORIOLES (-130).

Baltimore is the slightly hotter team, being 2-1 in its last 3 overall while the Rays are only 2-3 in their last 5 overall and 1-2 in their last 3 on the road.

The Orioles are also a dominant 8-2 in their last 10 overall vs. Tampa Bay, being 2-1 in the last 3 meetings in Baltimore.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I like Tampa covering here as a +1.5 (-192) underdog, but this line is set far too heavily to risk betting on. Bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-105).

The Over has hit in each of Baltimore’s last 4 home games and is 7-3 in its last 10 overall outings. For Tampa, the Over hit in its last road game.

This is a lean because the Over is only 5-3-2 in Tampa’s last 10 overall and 4-5-1 in the last 10 matchups between these squads.

White Sox at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 7, White Sox 5

Moneyline

PASS.

I expect the Orioles to cover here as -300 favorites, but this line is set far too heavily in their favor to risk betting on. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

LEAN WHITE SOX +2.5 (-135).

Chicago has finished within 2 runs of Baltimore in 3 of its last 5 losses vs. the Orioles.

The Orioles have been the much hotter team recently, but they have not been so dominant that it is improbable for Chicago to cover here as Baltimore is a mediocre 6-4 in its last 10 games.

This is a lean because Baltimore is obviously the much better team, so betting on the White Sox to cover always comes with a risk.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-120).

The Over has hit in 2 of Baltimore’s last 3 games and is 3-1 in Baltimore’s last 4 home games. For Chicago, the Over is 2-0 in its last 2 road games.

The Over has also hit in each of the last 3 Chicago-Baltimore meetings in Baltimore, being 7-1-2 in the last 10 meetings overall.

The Baltimore Orioles (77-58) and Colorado Rockies (50-85) open a 3-game series Friday. First pitch from Coors Field is scheduled for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Orioles vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Orioles won 2-1 in 2023

The Orioles are coming off a 2-1 series loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers. They wrapped up the series with back-to-back losses, including a 6-3 defeat as +125 underdogs in the Thursday finale with the Over (8.5) hitting. They trail the AL East-leading New York Yankees by 1½ games and are in the top AL Wild Card spot.

The Rockies are 3-6 in their last 9, but opened their current 7-game homestand with a 4-game series split against the Miami Marlins. They alternated wins and losses in the series, losing 12-8 in the Thursday finale as the Over (11.5) easily cashed. Colorado owns the 2nd-worst record in the NL.

RHP Albert Suarez vs. LHP Austin Gomber

Suarez (6-4, 3.18 ERA) makes his 19th start and 27th appearance. He has a 1.28 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 7.1 K/9 through 102 innings.

Orioles at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockies 5, Orioles 4

Moneyline

The Orioles are 38-28 in away games this season, but the Rockies are a much better team at home than on the road. Of their 50 wins, 31 have been at home. They are 5-1-1 in their last 7 home series.

The Orioles have lost 3 of their last 4 road series.

Gomber has 4 quality starts (3 or fewer runs, 6+ IP) in his last 6 outings.

Go for the upset Friday.

BET ROCKIES (+120).

Run line/Against the spread

The Rockies’ last 5 covers have been outright wins. They are 35-29 ATS at home.

The Orioles, though, are 40-26 ATS on the road this season, but that becomes a less stellar 23-20 ATS as road favorites.

But with the plus odds on the moneyline for the Rockies, that is a better bet than the spread.

PASS.

Over/Under

Two of the Rockies’ 4 games in their last home series surpassed 11 total runs.

Only 1 of Baltimore’s last 8 games has reached 11 total runs.

Five of Gomber’s last 6 starts have stayed under 11 total runs.

BET UNDER 11 (-105).

Baltimore Orioles at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Baltimore Orioles at Los Angeles Dodgers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Baltimore Orioles (77-57) and Los Angeles Dodgers (79-54) play the finale of a 3-game series Thursday at Dodger Stadium at 10:10 p.m. ET. 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: Tied 1-1

The O’s fell to the Dodgers 6-4 Wednesday night as we cashed all 3 bets. The O’s had some sloppy defense with 3 errors, and RHP Corbin Burnes couldn’t get around them. He allowed 6 R, but only 1 of them were earned. The O’s sit 1 game behind the New York Yankees in the AL East and hold a sizeable lead for the top Wild Card.

The Dodgers counterpunched the Orioles’ 3 runs in the 2nd inning with 4 in the 3rd and never looked back. DH Shohei Ohtani hit his 42nd homer, and OF Teoscar Hernandez slugged his 28th homer. The Dodgers hold a 3-game lead in the NL West.

Orioles at Dodgers projected starters

LHP Cade Povich vs. RHP Bobby Miller

Povich (1-6, 6.10 ERA) makes his 11th start. He has a 1.62 WHIP, 4.6 BB/9 and 6.3 K/9 in 48 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 5 ER, 8 H, 2 BB, 3 K in 7-5 home victory Friday against Houston Astros
  • Has never faced Dodgers
  • Home/road splits: 0-2, 12.27 ERA, 2.09 WHIP, 3.3 K/9 in 3 road starts; 1-4, 4.30 ERA, 1.49 WHIP, 7.2 K/9 in 7 home starts

Miller (1-3, 7.49 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.74 WHIP, 4.3 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 in 39 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 0 BB, 9 K in 7-3 home victory Friday against Tampa Bay Rays
  • Has not faced Orioles
  • Home/road splits: 1-0, 2.65 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 12.7 K/9 in 3 home starts; 0-3, 11.12 ERA, 2.29 WHIP, 5.2 K/9

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Orioles at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Orioles 5

Moneyline

The Dodgers have the clear advantage here with Povich’s inability to get hitters out — especially on the road. Miller has been a bit of a BP machine himself, but his home starts have been much better. If he keeps the O’s to 3 runs, the Dodgers should be fine.

Take the DODGERS -145.

Run line/Against the spread

Here’s a sneaky play since both Ohtani and Mookie Betts H+R+RBI lines have swelled to 2.5. Take TOMMY EDMAN OVER 1.5 H+R+RBIs (-120). He’s 6-for-29 (.207) since coming off the IL, but he’s 4-for-9 (.444) with a double and triple against left-handers.

Over/Under

It’s slated to be 71 degrees with another 10-mph breeze blowing out to center in Tinseltown. Miller has allowed 3+ ER in 5 of 6 starts, and Povich has done so in 5 of 7.

Take the OVER 9 (+100).

Baltimore Orioles at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Baltimore Orioles at Los Angeles Dodgers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

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 projected starters

RHP Corbin Burnes vs. RHP Walker Buehler

Burnes (12-6, 3.28 ERA) makes his 27th start. He has a 1.13 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 8.2 K/9 in 159 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 8 H, 2 BB, 2 K in 6-0 home defeat Thursday against Houston Astros
  • Has allowed 20 ER in last 4 GS (8.71 ERA)
  • Last 5 regular-season starts vs. Dodgers: 1-2, 5.96 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, 25 K in 22 2/3 IP

Buehler (1-4, 6.09 ERA) makes his 11th start. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 in 44 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 3 BB, 1 K in 6-3 home victory Aug. 20 against Seattle Mariners
  • 3+ ER in 6 of last 7 GS
  • One career start vs. Orioles: 7 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 11 K in 7-3 road win Sept. 10, 2019

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

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.

Baltimore Orioles at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Baltimore Orioles at Los Angeles Dodgers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Baltimore Orioles (76-56) and Los Angeles Dodgers (78-53) open a 3-game interleague set Tuesday. First pitch from Dodger Stadium is set for 10:10 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Orioles vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Dodgers won 2-1 in 2023

The Orioles split a 4-game set at home against the Houston Astros over the weekend. Baltimore has mostly been stuck in neutral in August, going 11-12 in the month. The Over and Under have alternated in the past 4 outings, with the Under going 8-4 across the past 12 contests.

For the O’s, they’re just 4-10 in the past 14 games against NL foes, too, with the Under going 3-1 in the past 4 interleague battles.

The Dodgers took 2 of 3 games over the weekend from the visiting Tampa Bay Rays, and they’ve won 5 of the past 6 games, all against AL teams. They’re 6-1 across the past 7 outings, with the Over going 3-1 in the past 4 affairs.

Orioles at Dodgers projected starters

LHP Cole Irvin vs. RHP Jack Flaherty

Irvin (6-5, 4.82 ERA) makes his 16th start and 23rd appearance. He has a 1.41 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 6.2 K/9 in 99 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 5 H (1 HR), 2 BB, 2 K in 4-3 road loss vs. New York Mets last Wednesday
  • 2024 road splits: 3-1, 4.83 ERA (41 IP, 22 ER), 1.32 WHIP, .261 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 12 BB, 26 K in 9 appearances (6 starts)

  • Last start: Loss, 4 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 4 H (1 HR), 4 BB, 5 K in 6-0 road setback vs. New York Yankees Thursday
  • 2024 home splits: 4-3, 3.60 ERA (55 IP, 22 ER), 1.15 WHIP, .246 OBA, 11 BB, 70 K in 9 starts with Detroit Tigers and Dodgers

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Orioles at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Orioles 2

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-190) are a little too expensive to bet straight up, especially in a battle between a pair of premier teams.

The Orioles (+160) are no pushover, and “Swervin” Cole Irvin is going to be pumped making his 1st start in his native Southern California. The Anaheim Servite High School pitcher has faced the Dodgers twice before, but both in relief, so expect him to start the game with a little extra juice.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The DODGERS -1.5 (+106) are a much better play on the run line, as they’ve played more consistent baseball than the Orioles +1.5 (-128) in the past month.

Flaherty has been a strikeout machine this season, and he is also a Southern California native having quite the resurgence with the Dodgers since being acquired from the lowly Tigers at the non-waiver trade deadline. His ERA and WHIP are actually up a touch since coming over from Detroit, but there is also much less pressure to be fine and perfect, as he gets much better offensive support.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (-102) is a good play, as these 2 SoCal pitchers should exchange plenty of donuts early before the bullpens take over.

The Dodgers’ bullpen rank 5th in the majors with a 3.57 ERA, while the O’s ‘pen checks in with a 4.10 ERA mark. That will be the difference with who wins the game, but the difference is rather slight. Once the starters are gone, don’t expect a watershed of runs.
