Orioles at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 6, Orioles 4

Money line

PASS. Look for Seattle to bounce back with Ray on the mound. But the juice is drowning out any leverage here.

Run line/Against the spread

Kremer has been aided by a high left-on-base rate and a low home-run rate on fly balls. The Baltimore bullpen behind him has its overall numbers propped up by some hard-to-repeat rates around the margins.

In a game with an Over lean, TAKE SEATTLE -1.5 (+122).

Over/Under

Both offenses sport analytics that leave room for growth. A double-digit wind blowing out and aiding the batters — against 2 fly-ball starters — is in the forecast (if the roof is open at T-Mobile). BACK THE OVER 7.5 (-115).

Baltimore Orioles at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Baltimore Orioles at Seattle Mariners odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Baltimore Orioles (34-40) visit the Seattle Mariners (34-40) for a 3-game set at T-Mobile Park. Monday’s opener is slated for a 7:05 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Orioles vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Seattle leads 2-1.

The Orioles are continuing a trip that opened with 3 wins in 4 games at Chicago. Baltimore held the White Sox to just 6 runs in the 4 games, and Oriole pitching owns a 1.99 ERA since June 16. Baltimore is 7-3 over that span.

The Mariners are back at home after a successful 5-1 road trip against the Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Angels. Seattle notched a 1.87 ERA on the road trip and owns a fine 2.80 mark since May 27.

Orioles at Mariners projected starters

RHP Tyler Wells vs. RHP George Kirby

Wells (5-4, 3.34 ERA) has made 14 starts this season. He has logged a 1.10 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 5.6 K/9 in 64 2/3 IP.

Tossed 5 shutout innings in his last start and owns a 2.00 ERA in his last 5 efforts.
Threw a season-high 95 pitches in that June 22 start vs. the Washington Nationals, allowing 3 H, 4 BB and 4 K.
Owns a 2.20 ERA at home and a 4.25 mark on the road.

Kirby (2-2, 3.12 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.12 WHIP, 1.1 BB/9 and 8.6 K/9 in 49 IP.

Over/Under (O/U): 7.5 (O: -115 | U: -107)

Orioles at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 5, Orioles 3

Money line

Kirby’s surface ERA rings truer than Wells’, and the Orioles pen is out too far over its skis with its ERA of 3.06. The Mariners are a lean but only an actionable one with value coming back at -150 or better. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Wells threw a season-high 95 pitches in his last; he averages just 73 pitches per start. The Baltimore bullpen behind him is well-rested but has its overall numbers propped up by some hard-to-repeat rates around the margins.

In a game with an Over lean, TAKE SEATTLE -1.5 (+140).

Over/Under

Both offenses sport analytics that leave room for growth. On a warm-weather night with a batter’s wind blowing out to left-center, and with some fade-Baltimore-pitching lean, BACK THE OVER 7.5 (-115).

Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Baltimore Orioles (32-39) face the Chicago White Sox (33-35) Friday in the 2nd of a 4-game set at Guaranteed Rate Field. First pitch is set for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Orioles vs. White Sox odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Baltimore leads 1-0 after they won 4-0 Thursday night.

The O’s are better than expected thus far and are 6-4 in the last 10 against quality teams. Rookie former No. 1 overall pick DH Adley Rutschman has provided a spark as he went 2-for-4 with a HR and 3 RBI Thursday. He has hits in 6 of his last 7 games with 7 extra-base hits during the stretch. Second-year OF Austin Hays is quietly hitting .287 with 10 homers and 40 RBI.

The White Sox are still trying to figure themselves out as they have a lot of talent in a weak division, but they can’t string many wins together. They are 14-16 in the last 30 games. Three regulars are hitting over .300 in SS Tim Anderson (.354), DH Andrew Vaughn (.330) and OF Luis Robert (.300).

Orioles at White Sox projected starters

RHP Austin Voth vs. RHP Michael Kopech

Voth (1-1, 8.39 ERA) makes his 2nd start of the season and appears in his 24th game. He has a 2.03 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 9.1 K/9 in 24 2/3 innings.

Has 3 1/3 straight scoreless innings in last 2 appearances.
Had a 10.13 ERA with the Washington Nationals before coming to Baltimore where he has a 3.00 ERA.
Features a fastball (94-mph avg), cutter and curveball, but has had trouble locating them as opposing hitters are hitting at least .333 off each pitch.

Kopech (2-3, 2.38 ERA) makes his 13th start of the season. He has a 0.99 WHIP, 4.0 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 in 56 2/3 innings.

Has as much arm talent as anyone in baseball, but the walks and injuries continue to haunt him.
Pitches better at home with a 1.57 ERA and 0.73 WHIP vs. 3.21 ERA and 1.25 WHIP on road.
His fastball is down from 97-mph avg. to 95 mph this year. Hitters still have just a .165 BA off of it.

Orioles at White Sox odds and lines

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 8:48 a.m. ET.

Money line (ML): Orioles +135 (bet $100 to win $135) | White Sox -170 (bet $170 to win $100)
Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Orioles +1.5 (-150) | White Sox -1.5 (+122)
Over/Under (O/U): 8.5 (O: -130 | U: +105)

Orioles at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 4, Orioles 2

Money line

It’s 83 degrees with no chance for rain and a slight, 5.6-mph breeze blowing in. Baltimore might have to count on a bullpen game as Voth only went 41 pitches in his first start for them. So there are a lot of signs leaning to the White Sox. However, we’re not paying -170 for a team this inconsistent that was just shut out by the Orioles. I’d much rather take the WHITE SOX FIRST 9 INNINGS (-145).

Run line/Against the spread

The White Sox had a pair of 1-run victories over Toronto recently, but their previous 4 wins were by 2 or more runs. Kopech is the x-factor here if he can limit the damage with the amount of free passes he allows. His home ERA sheds optimism there, and we’ll LEAN WHITE SOX -1.5 (+122).

Over/Under

This could go either way with Kopech’s control and Baltimore’s bullpen game. The Under is 4-0 in Baltimore’s last 4 games. The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the teams in Chicago. Again it’s just a lean because of the unpredictability of the pitching, but LEAN UNDER 8.5 (+100).

Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Baltimore Orioles (31-39) open a 10-game road trip Thursday starting with the 1st of a 4-game series against the Chicago White Sox (33-34). First pitch is at 8:10 p.m. ET at Guaranteed Rate Field. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Orioles vs. White Sox odds with MLB picks and predictions.

This is the first matchup of the season between the teams. The White Sox swept the Orioles 7-0 last season, outscoring them 45-16 in the 7 games.

The Orioles are coming off a 7-0 win over the Washington Nationals Wednesday to give them a 2-game split at home. They are 7-4 in their last 11 games.

The White Sox lost to the Toronto Blue Jays 9-5 Wednesday, but took 2 of 3 games in the road series. They have won 6 of their last 10 games.

Orioles at White Sox projected starters

RHP Dean Kremer vs. RHP Johnny Cueto

Kremer (1-1, 2.35 ERA) makes his 4th start. He has a 1.17 WHIP, 4 BB and 10 K in 15 1/3 IP.

Missed the first 2 months of the season with an oblique injury.
Last start: No-decision in Baltimore’s 1-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays June 17 with 6 IP, 0 R, 5 H, 1 BB and 5 K.

Cueto (1-3, 2.95 ERA) makes his 7th start in 8 appearances. He has a 1.10 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 7.0 K/9 in 42 2/3 IP.

Picked up his 1st win of the season in 7-0 victory over Houston Astros June 18 with 7 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 2 BB and 5 K.
Has allowed 3 or more runs in each of his last 4 appearances.

Over/Under (O/U): 9.5 (O: +110 | U: -135)

Orioles at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 4, Orioles 3

Money line

The Orioles’ 13 road wins this season are tied for the second-fewest in baseball. They are 13-22 on the road. However, they are 8-8 in their last 16 road games.

The White Sox are below .500 at home at 15-18. They have won 2 of their last 3 home games, but are 6-8 in their last 14.

I LEAN WHITE SOX (-160).

Run line/Against the spread

The Orioles actually have the best ATS record in all of baseball. They are 43-27 ATS overall this season. They are 18-17 ATS on the road. They have covered the spread in 9 of their last 11 games.

The White Sox are 32-35 ATS overall and 12-21 ATS at home, tied for the 2nd-worst mark in the majors.

Take the ORIOLES +1.5 (-160).

Over/Under

Two of Kremer’s 3 starts have been under 10 runs. Five of Cueto’s 7 appearances have had fewer than 10 runs.

Four of the last 5 games for Baltimore have had 9 or fewer runs.

Ten of the White Sox’ last 13 games have had 10 or more runs.

I LEAN UNDER 9.5 (-135).

The Washington Nationals (25-46) and Baltimore Orioles (30-39) cap off a 2-game regional rivalry set Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. ET at Camden Yards. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Nationals vs. Orioles odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Washington leads 1-0 after a 3-0 win Tuesday.

The Nationals snapped an 8-game skid Sunday with a win over Philadelphia, and they’ve now won 2 in a row. After clocking a 6.13 ERA in their previous 33 games, the Nats have a 0.32 figure in their last 3 games.

The Orioles stumbled Tuesday after going 6-3 with a .745 OPS in their previous 9 games. With the loss Baltimore is now 8-7 in its last 15 games at home.

Nationals at Orioles projected starters

LHP Patrick Corbin vs. RHP Tyler Wells

Corbin (3-9, 6.59 ERA) has registered a 1.78 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9 and 7.4 K/9 through 69 2/3 IP in 14 starts.

Owns a Boeing 7.47 ERA and 4.2 BB/9 on the road.
Baltimore batters own an aggregate .872 OPS against him.

Over/Under (O/U): 9.5 (O: -102 | U: -122)

Nationals at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Nationals 5, Orioles 4

Money line

The Baltimore bullpen remains due for a correction after a hot start to this month. Both offenses perform better on the road: Advantage Nationals.

BACK WASHINGTON (+125). Consider holding back on a full unit. This price edging toward +130 would make for a more workable margin.

Run line/Against the spread

Washington is the lean in principle, but I’d project the ML price to drift toward Baltimore, yielding a workable price there. AVOID.

Over/Under

Tuesday’s contest was a slight lean on the Under, and with both bullpens still in good shape this one is in the same boat.

BACK THE UNDER 9.5 (-122).

The Washington Nationals (24-46) and Baltimore Orioles (30-38) meet for the opener of a 2-game regional rivalry series Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. ET at Camden Yards. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Nationals vs. Orioles odds with MLB picks and predictions.

BACK WASHINGTON (+110).

Run line/Against the spread

Washington is the lean in principle. but any profit here is drowned out by the extra juice. AVOID.

Over/Under

Peg just the slightest lean here on the UNDER 9.5 (-105). Either or both starters providing 5-6 quality innings would not be a surprise, and both bullpens come in well-rested.

Tampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

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

The Tampa Bay Rays (35-28) limp into Oriole Park at Camden Yards Friday to start a 3-game series with the Baltimore Orioles (28-37). First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rays vs. Orioles odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Tampa is 4-6 straight up (SU) in the last 10 games with 2 straight road series losses with the latest being a 3-game sweep at the New York Yankees.

Baltimore is 5-5 SU in the last 10 and has split 2 consecutive 4-game road series heading into Friday vs. the Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays.

The Rays lead the season series with the Orioles 4-2 and have a plus-13 run differential in those meetings.

Rays at Orioles projected starters

RHP Shane Baz vs. RHP Dean Kremer

Baz lost his season debut Saturday at the Minnesota Twins 6-5, lasting just 2 1/3 innings, giving up 5 ER, 3 H (1 HR), 3 BB and 2 K.

This is Baz’s 5th career start and 1st against the Orioles.

Kremer (1-1, 3.86 ERA) won his 2nd outing of the year Sunday in Kansas City with 5 IP, 2 R (1 ER), 4 H, 2 BB and 2 K vs. the Royals.

Lost his 1st outing 3-2 at home vs. the Cleveland Guardians June 5, with 3 ER, 5 H (1 HR), 1 BB and 3 K in 4 1/3 IP.
2021 vs. the Rays: One start, a 10-1 home loss May 20 with 3 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 2 HR, 4 BB and 3 K.

Rays at Orioles odds and lines

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 10:34 a.m. ET.

Money line (ML): Rays -160 (bet $160 to win $100) | Orioles +130 (bet $100 to win $130)
Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Rays -1.5 (+105) | Orioles +1.5 (-130)
Over/Under (O/U): 8.5 (O: -120 | U: -105)

Rays at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, Rays 4

Money line

PASS.

The Rays (-160) are 28-7 SU vs. the Orioles over the last 3 seasons and this could be a buy-low spot for Tampa because it was just swept by the Yankees and Baz was chased early in his 1st start back from the injury list.

But, there’s no shame in losing to the Yankees the way the Bronx Bombers are playing and Baz’s stuff looked good vs. the Twins, he just lost the strike zone against a quality Minnesota lineup.

Also, Kremer’s basic and advanced pitching numbers vs. the Rays are brutal. Kremer has a .351/.456/.588 expected batting average, wOBA and slugging percentage slash line with a 5.0 K% and 95.6 mph exit velocity in 20 plate appearances vs. current Tampa hitters (per Statcast).

Run line/Against the spread

BET 0.75 units on the ORIOLES +1.5 (-130) since only 2 of the 6 Rays-Orioles meetings have been decided by 1 run.

However, the Rays could be hungover from playing the Yankees and this is a much more profitable spot for the Orioles. Tampa is just 1-1 SU and RL as -150 road favorites or greater and that 1 loss was against Baltimore May 22.

The Orioles are 14-7 RL at home vs. right-handed starters with a plus-26.1% return on investment.

The ORIOLES +1.5 (-130) is my favorite wager in this game.

Over/Under

LEAN to the OVER 8.5 (-120).

The weather forecast is predicting hitter-friendly conditions of temperatures in the low-90s and 15 mph winds blowing out to right-center field. Also, both starters are working back from injuries, the Rays are 9-6-2 O/U as road favorites and the Orioles are 14-12-1 O/U as home underdogs.

It’s only a LEAN to the OVER 8.5 (-120) since I prefer Baltimore’s RL and both bullpens are actually very impressive. Tampa’s bullpen-prowess is somewhat obvious but Baltimore’s bullpen is 3rd in WAR, per FanGraphs.

Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 8, Orioles 3

Money line

A 70-cent line drowns out any interest in either side: PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Orioles pitching-and-defense numbers are a bit overcooked, and this starting pitching matchup favors Toronto more than what shows in surface numbers. Look for Berrios and a rested back end of the Blue Jay bullpen to make this 2-and-a-hook work in a high-scoring run environment.

TAKE TORONTO -2.5 (+102).

Over/Under

The Over is 5-0-1 in the Orioles’ last 6 games as road underdogs. The Over is 8-0 in the Blue Jays’ last 8 games as home favorites. The whole series likely figures to have an Over lean, and that Over is so far 2-0.

Toronto’s recent exploits with the bat and a Baltimore bullpen in overestimated/fade territory make for a high-scoring game.

BACK THE OVER 9.5 (-105).

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated 8:52 a.m. ET.

Money line: Orioles +175 (bet $100 to win $175) | Blue Jays -220 (bet $220 to win $100)

Over/Under (O/U): 9.5 (O: -108 | U: -112)

Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 6, Blue Jays 4

Money line

Lyles has been hurt by a .344 batting average on balls in play. And while the Orioles aren’t prolific on offense, they do lean heavily to the right and that could spell trouble for the lefty Kikuchi who has allowed an .845 OPS to righty bats over his career.

BALTIMORE (+175) is worth a partial-unit play.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS. Baltimore is the lean in principle, but the pricing here is not attractive.

Over/Under

Toronto’s recent exploits with the bat and a Baltimore bullpen in overestimated/fade territory make for a high-scoring game.

BACK THE OVER 9.5 (-108).

Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Baltimore Orioles (26-35) and Toronto Blue Jays (35-24) meet Monday in the lid-lifter of a 4-game AL East series. The opener at Rogers Centre is slated for a 7:07 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Orioles vs. Blue Jays odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting. Toronto took 14 of 19 games from Baltimore in 2021 and outscored the Orioles 153-84.

The Orioles opened their current road trip by going 2-2 in a 4-game series at Kansas City. Baltimore is just 11-20 in 31 road games this season.

The Blue Jays are a robust 18-10 at home. Toronto inexplicably struggled on offense for much of the first third of the season. But in their last 17 games, the Jays have averaged 6.65 runs per game on the strength of a .920 OPS.

Orioles at Blue Jays projected starters

RHP Kyle Bradish vs. RHP Alek Manoah

Bradish (1-3, 6.45 ERA) has made 8 starts this season. He has a 1.59 WHIP, 3.8 BB/9 and 9.6 K/9 in 37 2/3 IP.

The rookie is averaging barely 4 innings per start in his last 5 outings with a 8.27 ERA over that stretch.

Manoah (7-1, 1.81 ERA) owns a 0.96 WHIP, 1.7 BB/9 and 7.9 K/9 through 69 2/3 IP in 11 starts.

Coming off 6 shutout innings in his June 7 start at Kansas City.
Benefiting from a .258 batting average on balls in play.

Orioles at Blue Jays odds and lines

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated 10:54 a.m. ET.

Money line: Orioles +230 (bet $100 to win $230) | Blue Jays -280 (bet $280 to win $100)
Run line (RL): Orioles +1.5 (+105) | Blue Jays -1.5 (-130)
Over/Under (O/U): 8.5 (O: -120 | U: -105)

Orioles at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 6, Orioles 5

Money line

Baltimore has been solid enough in road openers, and Toronto’s won-loss record is perhaps a bit too inflated by a 15-7 mark in 1-run games.

The Orioles are a lean making the tag here worth a watch. PASS on the current pricing, but be ready to pounce on a Baltimore play at +240 or better.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS. Better value is found elsewhere.

Over/Under

The Over is 8-0 in Baltimore’s last 8 series openers. It is 6-0 in the Blue Jays’ last 6 games as a home favorite.

Bradish exposes a Baltimore bullpen that has been good on the surface (3.19 ERA). But the O’s pen has some support numbers that don’t line up with that production.

Both lineups are right-heavy; that cuts into platoon problem areas for both sides. Toronto has his 15 HR in its last 6 home games.

BACK THE OVER 8.5 (-120).
