Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Padres lead 1-0

Padres LF Jurickson Profar went deep twice Friday, the 2nd of which broke a 9th-inning tie and lifted San Diego to a 6-4 win as a +174 underdog with the Over (9) cashing by a run. It was the Padres’ 6th consecutive victory. 2B Xander Bogaerts went 3 for 4, including an RBI double as The Padres improved to 30-22 on the road this season and 55-51 against the spread (ATS).

Padres at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Orioles 2

Moneyline

BET PADRES (+102).

The Padres are red hot right now. They’ve won 6 straight coming into Saturday’s game and I’m going to ride that momentum. The pitching staff has allowed just 7 total runs and tossed 3 shutouts over the 6-game run. King may not be their ace, but he’s won 3 of his last 4 starts allowing just 1 run in each for a 1.48 ERA (24 1/3 IP, 4 ER).

The Orioles are the better team, but right now they are in a bit of a funk coming out of the All-star break. Kremer is 1-4 over his last 6 starts with a 5.65 ERA (28 2/3 IP, 18 ER). These pitching woes is one of the reasons the Orioles bolstered their rotation Friday with the addition of RHP Zach Eflin in a trade with Tampa Bay.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Since we’re backing the Orioles’ moneyline, let’s stay away from the run line.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (-115).

The Under is 7-3 in the Padres’ last 10 games thanks mostly to superb pitching the last 2 weeks. Expect that to continue Saturday with King on the mound. The Under has hit in his last 3 starts.

Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Padres won 2 of 3 in 2023

The Padres will wrap up their 9-game East Coast road trip in Baltimore. They’ve won 5 straight after sweeping the Washington Nationals, highlighted by Dylan Cease‘s no-hitter in a 3-0 win on Thursday. San Diego outscored Washington 19-3 over their 3-game set. They are 29-22 on the road this season and 54-51 against the spread (ATS).

Baltimore snapped a 3-game losing streak on Thursday with a 7-6 victory in 10innings over the Miami Marlins. The Orioles squandered a 6-run lead before 1B Ryan Mountcastle‘s go-ahead single in the 10th inning. Baltimore got home runs from RF Anthony Santander, CF Colton Cowser, and 2B Connor Norby. They are 30-22 at home and 55-47 ATS.

Padres at Orioles projected starters

RHP Adam Mazur vs. RHP Grayson Rodriguez

Mazur (1-3, 7.84 ERA) makes his 8th career start. He has a 1.84 WHIP, 5.5 BB/9 and 6.1 K/9 in 31 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 6 K in 8-3 loss against the Seattle Mariners on July 9
  • 2024 road splits: 0-1, 4.61 ERA (13 2/3 IP, 7 ER), 1.61 WHIP, 6.6 K/9 in 3 starts

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 8 K in 8-4 victory at Texas Rangers Saturday

Padres at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, Padres 3

Moneyline

PASS.

I’ve got the Orioles (-205) winning this game, but I’m staying away from that moneyline. I’m not willing to pay all that juice.

Run line/Against the spread

BET ORIOLES -1.5 (+102).

This will be a difficult series for the Orioles, but Baltimore doesn’t have to face a red-hot Cease and the Padres have to face Rodriguez, who has won 4 of his last 5 starts and allowing a total of 7 ER in those 4 victories. The team has a 3.59 ERA at Camden Yards on the season.

The Padres are throwing out Mazur who has just 1 win on the season. He has allowed at least 3 ER in each of his last 4 starts.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (+100).

I will say that this is a lukewarm recommendation. These 2 teams went Under in 2 of their last 3 meetings. The Padres have been Under in 8 of their last 10 games, but the Orioles have been Over in 4 of their last 5. Which is why I’m not as high as I’d like to be on this bet.

I’d probably keep this bet to half a unit and put more on the run line bet.

The Orioles have lost each of their last 3 games and have failed to eclipse 3 runs in each of their last 8 losses.

Orioles at Marlins projected starters

  • Moneyline (ML): Orioles -275 (bet $275 to win $100) | Marlins +220 (bet $100 to win $220)

Orioles at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, Marlins 4

Moneyline

PASS.

Even with being so cold, the Orioles are simply the much better team and I like them to cover as -275 favorites. However, this line is far too risky to bet on. Bet on the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

BET MARLINS +2.5 (-125).

Miami is the slightly hotter team, being 3-1 in its last 4 while Baltimore has dropped 3 straight. The Marlins are also 4-1 in their last 5 matchups vs. Baltimore in Miami, meaning that the Marlins are not only likely to cover the spread, but also have a very good chance of winning the game.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-115). 

The Over has hit in back-to-back games for Baltimore and is 5-1 in its last 6 overall. For Miami, the Over is 3-0 in its last 3 and 7-3 in its last 10.

The Over has also hit in each of the last 4 Baltimore-Miami meetings and is  8-2 in the last 10 meetings. It is also 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Miami.

CF Jazz Chisholm Jr. and LF Nick Gordon each had 2 RBIs for the Marlins, who cashed as +151 home underdogs.

Orioles at Marlins projected starters

RHP Chayce McDermott vs. RHP Edward Cabrera

McDermott makes his MLB debut.

  • According to MLB Pipline, is 7th-best prospect in organization
  • 2024 stats with Triple-A Norfolk: 3-5, 3.96 ERA (91 IP, 40 ER), 1.43 WHIP, 12.8 K/9 in 20 appearances (19 starts)

Orioles at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, Marlins 4

Moneyline

BET ORIOLES (-140).

While the Orioles are just 3-7 in their last 10 games, they are 3-2 in their last 5. They have scored 6 or more runs in 3 of their last 5 and face Cabrera, who has struggled this season with a 7.36 ERA. While McDermott is unproven, he has an opportunity to start his MLB career off on a high note against a Marlins team that is 21-33 at home this season.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The moneyline is the safest play in this matchup.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-115).

The Orioles have hit the Over in 4 of their last 5 games, while the Marlins have hit the Over in 3 of their last 5. Miami has hit the Over in 7 of its last 10 games and allowed 6 or more runs in 5 of its last 10.

Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Orioles vs. Rangers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Baltimore leads 4-1

Baltimore smacked Texas 9-1 Friday while covering as a -106 road favorite. RHP Corbin Burnes pitched 6 innings and allowed only 1 ER, 2 H and 4 BB with 6 K’s. RF Anthony Santander went 3-for-5 at the plate and hit 2 homers in the win, driving in 5 runs.

Friday’s loss ended a streak of back-to-back wins for the Rangers, who have now allowed at least 6 runs in each of their last 3 losses.

Orioles at Rangers projected starters

RHP Grayson Rodriguez vs. RHP Max Scherzer

Rodriguez (11-4, 3.88 ERA) makes his 18th start. He has a 1.24 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 10.1 K/9 through 99 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 6 ER, 8 H, 1 BB, 7 K in a 6-1 loss vs. the Yankees Saturday

Orioles at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 7, Rangers 6

Moneyline

LEAN ORIOLES (-124). 

Baltimore has won back-to-back games and is 3-1 in its last 4 road games while the Rangers are only 2-3 in their last 5 overall.

The Orioles are also 4-1 in their last 5 matchups vs. the Rangers.

This is a lean because the Orioles are only 4-6 in their last 10 while the Rangers are 7-3 across that same span.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS. 

I like the Rangers to cover here as +1.5 (-172) underdogs, especially as they are 7-3 in their last 10 and are 5-5 in their last 10 vs. Baltimore, but the line is not worth the risk. Bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-105). 

The Over has hit in back-to-back games for Baltimore and in each of its last 3 road games. For Texas, the Over is 2-0 in its last 2 at home and 5-2-1 in its last 8 overall. The Over has also hit in each of the last 3 Baltimore-Texas matchups, being 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

The Baltimore Orioles (58-38) open the 2nd half of the season on the road against the Texas Rangers (46-50). First pitch in Friday’s game at Globe Life Field is 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s (OR FanDuel Sportsbook’s) lines around the Orioles vs. Rangers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Orioles lead 3-1

Baltimore stumbled into the break with a 1-5 record on their homestand, dropping their lead in the AL East to 1 game over the New York Yankees

An up-and-down 1st half ended on a high note for the Rangers, as they won 7 of their last 9 games before the All-Star break. Texas is 3rd in the AL West.

Orioles at Rangers projected starters

RHP Corbin Burnes vs. RHP Nathan Eovaldi

Burnes (9-4, 2.43 ERA) makes his 20th start. He has a 1.04 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 in 118 2/3 IP.

  • Has a 2.94 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 7.6 K/9 in 8 road starts this season

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Orioles at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 4, Rangers 3

Moneyline

The Orioles are 28-16 on the road this season, and the 5.32 runs per game they have scored on the road ranks 2nd in the majors. Burnes always puts them in position to win, as they are 12-7 in the games he has started.

On the other side, the Rangers are 24-21 at home and are 10-6 in games started by Eovaldi. This game could go either way and while the Orioles deserve to be slight favorites, the cost is too steep. PASS on this price and look for value elsewhere.

Run line/Against the spread

Eovaldi boasts a sub-3.00 ERA on the year and both he and his team were rolling heading into the break. The Rangers have lost by more than 1 run just once in his last 10 starts and they are a good bet to keep this game close, if not win outright. Side with RANGERS +1.5 (-120).

Over/Under

Both starting pitchers have been very stingy with runs allowed throughout the season and there won’t likely be a lot of offensive fireworks in Arlington Friday night. A small wager on UNDER 8 (-115) is the side to take in this anticipated pitchers’ duel.

New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Yankees (57-39) and Baltimore Orioles (57-37) play the 2nd game of a 3-game series Saturday. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is set for 4:05 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Orioles lead 5-3

RHP Gerrit Cole held the potent Baltimore Orioles lineup to 1 run over 6 innings in a 4-1 victory Friday. CF Aaron Judge parked his MLB leading 33rd home run and walked 4 times. This victory put the Yankees within 1 game of the Orioles for the lead in the AL East. New York is 32-20 on the road and 51-45 ATS on the season.

The Orioles remain atop the AL East despite falling Friday night to the Yankees. The only run Baltimore could manage was an RBI triple from 3B Ramon Urias. We did get a benches-clearing situation in the bottom of the 9th after Orioles LF Heston Kjerstad was hit around the ear flap of his helmet by RHP Clay Holmes‘ pitch. The Orioles are 29-21 at home on the season and 51-43 against the spread (ATS).

Yankees at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 4, Yankees 3

Moneyline

BET ORIOLES (-134).

As much as I don’t like paying that kind of juice, I’m not willing to take the risk on the run line.

The Orioles have one of their horses on the mound, and while Rodriguez got beat in his last start, the expectation is that he’ll rebound against the arch-rival Yankees. He has not allowed an earned run against New York in his young career. Baltimore needs a confidence builder having lost 5 of their last 6 games. the majors, and they’re a strong play here. New York is 12-9 over its last 21 on the road and have won its last 2 starts with Cole on the mound.

After a brilliant start to the 2024 season, Gil has lost his last 4 starts. He seems to be regressing to the mean a bit, 17 ER over his last 16 1/3 innings pitched.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

As much as I like the Orioles to get this win, I’ll stick with the safer moneyline bet on this one.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (-112).

The Orioles have gone Under in 3 straight games and have scored 2 or fewer runs in 4 straight.

The Yankees are 1-3-1 O/U in their last 4 games, scoring 4 or fewer in 4 straight and allowing 4 or fewer in 4 of their last 6.

The Baltimore Orioles (57-36) welcome the New York Yankees (56-39) to Oriole Park at Camden Yards to kick off a 3-game series Friday. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Orioles lead 5-2

The Orioles, who sit atop the AL East with the Yankees 2nd in the division, were swept by the Chicago Cubs in their last series, losing Thursday’s finale 8-0. Baltimore has lost 4 of its last 5 games. It has also lost 4 straight at home after winning 4 straight at home. The Orioles are 29-20 at home on the season and 51-42 against the spread (ATS).

The Yankees, who are 31-20 on the road, lost to the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 Thursday and dropped 2 of 3 in that road series. They have struggled immensely as of late, losing 7 of their last 9 games and scoring more than 4 runs in just 1 of those 9. New York is 50-45 ATS on the season, having gone just 2-7 ATS over their last 9.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 1/3 IP, 4 ER (4 R), 7 H, 2 BB, 8 K in 14-4 home win over the Boston Red Sox Saturday

Yankees at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Orioles 3

Moneyline

BET YANKEES (-126).

The Yankees have an ace on the mound, and while Cole has struggled to start the season, the expectation is that he’ll rebound to his old self. Couple that with the Yankees, at 31-20, being among the best road teams in the majors, and they’re a strong play here. New York is 12-9 over its last 21 on the road and have won its last 2 starts with Cole on the mound.

The Orioles are 1-2 in Povich’s last 3 starts and have lost 3 straight games. They lost those games a combined 2-21, so they weren’t close battles either. Expect those struggles to continue and back YANKEES (-126).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Yankees are too risky as a run-line favorite while the Orioles are too pricey as a home, run-line underdog. Avoid this play and back the moneyline.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (-112).

The Orioles have gone Under in 2 straight games and have scored 2 or fewer runs in 3 straight. Their offensive struggles come at a bad time with the Yankees having allowed just 5 total runs in Cole’s last 2 starts.

The Yankees are 1-2-1 O/U in their last 4 games, scoring 4 or fewer in 3 straight and allowing 4 or fewer in 3 of their last 5. Given both teams offensive slowdowns, back UNDER 9 (-112).
