Chicago Cubs at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Chicago Cubs at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Cubs (42-49) and Baltimore Orioles (57-33) begin a 3-game series Tuesday. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is slated for 6:35 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Cubs vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

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

Chicago hits the road for 7-games after going 3-3 in a 6-game homestand. They head to Baltimore after shutting out the Los Angeles Angels 5-0 on Sunday afternoon. RHP Hayden Wesneski allowed just 1 hit and 1 walk over 6 1/3 innings and 1B Michael Busch had a 2-run HR.

The Orioles wrap up the 1st half of their season with 6 home games after going 4-2 on their West Coast trip. That concluded with a 6-3 victory on Sunday over the Oakland A’s as RHP Grayson Rodriguez earned his 11th win to tie for the MLB lead. Baltimore went up 4-0 in the 1st inning behind RF Anthony Santander‘s 23rd HR and a 3-run shot from CF Heston Kjerstad. They are 1 game back of the Philadelphia Phillies for the best record in the MLB.

Cubs at Orioles projected starters

LHP Shota Imanaga vs. RHP Dean Kremer

Imanaga (7-2, 3.16 ERA) makes his 17th start. He has a 1.11 WHIP, 1.5 BB/9 and 9.1 K/9 in 91 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 8 K in 5-3 home loss against the Phillies Wednesday

Cubs at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 4, Cubs 2

Moneyline.

PASS.

The Orioles (-152) will get this win at home on Tuesday night but I don’t want to pay that juice. I’ll keep my wager for the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

BET ORIOLES -1.5 (+138).

While this is a tough game to handicap, I have the Orioles covering this run line even against Imanaga and his success this season. Baltimore loves hitting against lefties, owning a nearly .800 OPS (.789) against them and a record of 15-10 on the season. C Adley Rutschman is batting .400 with a 1.092 OPS against southpaws.

Baltimore is also 22 games over .500 at Camden Yards while the Cubs are 17-28 on the road with a 4.45 team ERA.

Over/Under

PASS.

My lean is the Under 9.5 (-122) because of the solid pitching on the mound but I’m not going to bet it. In their last 10 meetings between these 2 teams, they are 5-4-1 against the Over. Both the Cubs and Orioles are 3-3 against the Over in their last 6-games.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Baltimore Orioles (56-33) and Oakland Athletics (34-57) wrap up a 3-game series Sunday. First pitch from Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum is scheduled for 4:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Orioles vs. Athletics odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Athletics lead 3-2

The Orioles won the series opener Friday by a 3-2 count, but Baltimore was buried 19-8 on Saturday as the Over (9) easily connected. Baltimore has still won 7 of the past 10 games, while the Over is 4-3 in the past 7 outings.

The 19 runs scored by the A’s on Saturday was not even a season best, as Oakland posted a 20-4 victory over the Miami Marlins on May 4. The Athletics have won 4 of the past 5 games, while averaging 7.6 runs per game (RPG) in the 5-game span.

Despite the solid offense lately, the Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games for the A’s, while going 5-2 in the previous 7 outings.

Orioles at Athletics projected starters

RHP Grayson Rodriguez vs. RHP Mitch Spence

Rodriguez (10-3, 3.45 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 1.22 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 9.9 K/9 in 88 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 4 BB, 8 K in 2-0 road victory vs. Seattle Mariners Tuesday
  • 2024 road splits: 5-2, 4.60 ERA (45 IP, 23 ER), 1.40 WHIP, .257 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 17 BB, 52 K in 8 starts
  • Career vs. Athletics: 0-0, 10.38 ERA (4 1/3 IP, 5 ER), 2.31 WHIP, 12.5 K/9 in 1 start

Spence (5-4, 4.15 ERA) makes his 10th start and 21st appearance. He has a 1.25 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 7.5 K/9 in 73 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 5 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 7-5 home victory vs. Los Angeles Angels Tuesday
  • 2024 home splits: 3-2, 3.71 ERA (43 2/3 IP, 18 ER), 1.31 WHIP, .274 OBA, 11 BB, 38 K in 5 starts and 6 relief appearances
  • Career vs. Orioles: 1 start, Win, 3 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 1 BB, 2 K in relief appearance in 3-2 road victory in 10 innings April 26

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Orioles at Athletics picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 4, Athletics 3

Moneyline

The Orioles (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return in this series finale.

Baltimore has Rodriguez on the bump, looking to get it back into the win column. However, the O’s are a risky play after getting buried 19-8 Saturday.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The ATHLETICS +1.5 (+100) aren’t a bad option on the run line as an underdog, especially at even-money.

Oakland has been surprisingly decent lately, winning 4 of the past 5 games, while going 4-0 on the run line as an underdog with 3 outright victories.

The Orioles -1.5 (-120) are just 3-3 in the past 6 outings, while going 0-4 on the run line in the past 4 as a favorite.

Over/Under

UNDER 8 (+100) is worth playing lightly in this series finale under the California sun.

The total has gone low in 3 of the past 5 games for the O’s, while also cashing in each of the past 2 starts by Rodriguez.

For the A’s, the Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games, and 5-2 in the past 7 outings, while going 5-4 in Spence’s past 9 assignments.

Season series: A’s lead 2-1

The Orioles won 2 of 3 games at the Seattle Mariners Tuesday through Thursday, losing 7-3 as -145 favorites in the finale as the Over (7) hit. Baltimore is 6-2 in its last 8 games, with 4 of those wins coming by multiple runs.

The A’s are coming off a 3-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels, winning 5-0 as -111 home favorites Thursday as the Under (9) cashed. Oakland has not won 4 straight since a 6-game winning streak April 28-May 4.

Orioles at A’s projected starters

RHP Albert Suárez vs. LHP Hogan Harris

Suárez (4-2, 2.43 ERA) makes his 11th start and 18th appearance. He has a 1.25 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 in 59 1/3 IP.

  • Over/Under (O/U): 8.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Orioles at A’s picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 6, A’s 4

Moneyline

The Orioles (-190) will likely win with their advantage at starting pitcher, but it’s a losing proposition long term to lay -180 or more while betting into 35-cent lines.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

Plus odds on the run line would’ve been nice, but the Orioles -1.5 (-115) are still okay to bet at this number. Baltimore is an MLB-best 50-37 on the run line this season, according to Teamrankings.com, and is in a good spot to bounce back facing the worst team in the AL West.

BET ORIOLES -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Over is 16-8-3 (66.7%) this season when the Orioles are away favorites and 16-10-5 (61.5%) when they’re coming off a loss. Harris allowed 10 hits against the Diamondbacks Saturday and was lucky to only give up 3 ER; it’s unlikely that he stays that lucky against Baltimore.

BET OVER 8.5 (-110).

Baltimore Orioles at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Baltimore Orioles (55-31) take on the Seattle Mariners (47-41) Thursday in the finale of a 3-game set at T-Mobile Park at 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Orioles vs. Mariners odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Orioles lead 3-1

The O’s have opened this series with 2-0 and 4-1 victories the last 2 nights. 1B Ryan O’Hearn went 2-for-3 with his 11th HR and 3 RBIs to lead the charge Wednesday. Baltimore has won 2 in a row and 6 of its last 7 games.

The M’s have dropped 4 in a row and scored just 5 total runs in the process. OF Julio Rodriguez has been dropped to 7th in the order due to a lackluster .244-7-29 line on the season. Seattle is just 27th with 3.8 runs per game and last with a .216 batting average.

Orioles at Mariners projected starters

RHP Corbin Burnes vs. RHP Bryce Miller

Burnes (9-3, 2.28 ERA) makes his 18th start. He has a 1.03 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 in 106 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 1 ER, 9 H, 0 BB, 5 K last Thursday against the Texas Rangers
  • May 19 vs. Seattle: Win, 6 IP, 0 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 11 K

Miller (6-7, 3.88 ERA) makes his 18th start. He has a 1.05 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 in 97 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 6 K Saturday against Minnesota Twins
  • 3 career starts vs. Orioles: 0-1, 4.70 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 7 K in 15 1/3 IP

  • Moneyline (ML): Orioles -155 (bet $155 to win $100) | Mariners +130 (bet $100 to win $130)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Orioles -1.5 (+115) | Mariners +1.5 (-140)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 7 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Orioles at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 4, Mariners 2

Moneyline

It’s rare that I personally drop -155 on a ML in baseball because the variance is so large. However, I’m fully on board with this one. Burnes is 5-1 a 2.11 ERA in his last 7 starts, and he owned the Mariners in his May outing. The M’s are a sinking ship that will need to add a couple of bats at the trade deadline.

Take the ORIOLES -155.

Run line/Against the spread

I know Burnes fanned 11 the last time he faced the M’s, but I’m going Under here. His 8.4 K/9 is the lowest since his 38-inning rookie season in 2018. He has struck out 11 twice this season, but he has been Under this number in each of his other 15 starts. Go with that trend and take CORBIN BURNES UNDER 7.5 K’S (-120).

Over/Under

The O’s are 5-5 O/U in their last 10, and the M’s are 4-4-2. The Over is 4-5-1 in the last 10 matchups. The Under has cashed on totals of 7 and 7.5 in the 1st 2 games of the series. The wind is blowing in at 10 mph from left-center. Go easy here, but LEAN UNDER 7 (-110).

Orioles at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 5, Orioles 4

Moneyline

BET MARINERS (-115).

Baltimore has lost 5 of its last 10 games, including 2 of its last 3 on the road. Kremer will be making his first start in more than a month for the Orioles and has struggled previously with a 4.32 ERA. While Seattle has dropped 3 of its last 5 games, Gilbert has been a strong starter for the team. He has a 0.88 WHIP and 2.72 ERA, which will provide the Mariners with the tools they need for the win.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There is no value on the run line in this matchup.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 7 (-110).

With 2 pitchers who are returning from injury Wednesday, 7 is too low of a line to be comfortable taking the Under. Baltimore has scored 4 or more runs in 4 of its last 7 games while allowing 11 total in its last 2 combined. Seattle has allowed 5 runs in 2 of its last 3 games and scored 3 or more in 7 of its last 9.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Orioles at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 4, Orioles 3

Moneyline

The MARINERS (-105) have won Kirby’s last 5 home starts, and he has allowed a total of just 1 ER over his last 4 at T-Mobile Park. Rodriguez, on the other hand, has given up an average of 4 runs per game in his last 5 road starts.

Seattle has struggled since mid-June (4-8 since June 18), but 3 of those 4 series were on the road and the Mariners are 28-14 at home this season. Look for the AL West leaders to get back on track as the 2nd-place Houston Astros trail by just 3 games in the division.

BET MARINERS (-105).

Run line/Against the spread

Seattle +1.5 (-190) will likely hit, but it’s hard to beat MLB long term laying -190 on 35-cent lines.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Mariners have scored 4 runs or fewer in 6 of their last 7 games, while the Orioles have put up 2 or fewer in 5 of their last 9.

While Kirby has allowed just 1 ER over his last 26 IP at home, 7 is a key number in MLB totals, so don’t bet this unless you can find a 7.5 at -115 or better.

LEAN UNDER 7 (+100).

Texas Rangers at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Texas Rangers at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Texas Rangers (37-46) and Baltimore Orioles (53-30) wrap up a 4-game series Sunday. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rangers vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Orioles lead 3-0

The Rangers have lost 6 consecutive games, including the 1st 3 outings in this series. Texas was blown out 11-2 on Thursday, but the past 2 games have each been losses by 1 run apiece. The Over is 2-1 in the first 3 games of this series.

The Orioles are aiming for the 4-game sweep. It hasn’t been long since the most recent 4-game sweep, as Baltimore took all 4 games against AL East Division rival Tampa Bay at Tropicana Field from June 7-10.

The Over (9.5) cashed on Saturday in the 6-5 victory, and the Over and Under have alternated in the past 9 games since June 21.

Rangers at Orioles projected starters

LHP Andrew Heaney vs. LHP Cole Irvin

Heaney (2-9, 4.17 ERA) makes his 16th start and 17th appearance. He has a 1.31 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 in 77 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 2 ER, 6 H (1 HR), 2 BB, 4 K in 3-1 road setback vs. Milwaukee Brewers Tuesday

Rangers at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 6, Rangers 4

Moneyline

The ORIOLES (-160) are a little on the pricey side, but they’re a good play against the southpaw Heaney, who has been extremely shaky this season, especially on the road.

The Rangers (+135) can’t be trusted, having dropped the first 3 in this series, and 6 in a row.

If you like to play in safe, back Baltimore straight up behind Swervin’ Cole Irvin.

Run line/Against the spread

The ORIOLES -1.5 (+125) are worth playing on the run line if you’re a little less conservative.

Baltimore has won the past 2 days by a single run each, so be careful. However, in the past 26 wins since May 17, the O’s have won by 2 or more runs in 23 of those outings. So, if you like Baltimore to win, you should like it to get the job done laying the run and a half.

Over/Under

OVER 9.5 (+100) is worth a look at even-money, but go lightly.

The Over-Under has alternated in the past 9 games for the O’s. The total has gone high at a 4-1-1 clip in the past 6 starts by Irvin, too.

For the Rangers, the Over is 3-1 in the past 4 games. However, be careful, as the Under is actually 6-0 in Heaney’s past 6 starts. It’s more due to a lack of run support rather than anything special the veteran southpaw is doing.

Texas Rangers at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Texas Rangers at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Texas Rangers (37-45) and Baltimore Orioles (52-30) play the 3rd contest of a 4-game series Saturday. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rangers vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Orioles lead 2-0

The Rangers were nipped 2-1 Friday, dropping a 5th straight outing. Texas continues to struggle on offense, going for just 12 total runs in the losing skid, good for just 2.4 runs per game (RPG). The pitching staff has allowed 6 or more runs in 3 of those games, though, so the Over is still 3-2 in the 5-game skid.

The Orioles have won 3 straight games, turning things around after a 5-game skid of their own from June 21-25. It’s been all about pitching as Baltimore has allowed just 5 runs in the 3-games, or 1.7 RPG. The Under and Over has alternated in each of the past 8 games, with the Under (8.5) cashing Friday.

Rangers at Orioles projected starters

RHP Michael Lorenzen vs. LHP Cade Povich

Lorenzen (4-3, 3.04 ERA) makes his 14th start. He has a 1.16 WHIP, 3.6 BB/9 and 6.4 K/9 in 77 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 6-3 loss at Milwaukee Brewers Monday
  • 2023 road splits: 8-4, 4.31 ERA (85 2/3 IP, 41 ER), 1.17 WHIP, .238 opponents’ batting average (OBA), 21 HR, 22 BB, 95 K in 15 starts
  • Career vs. Orioles: 0-0, 0.00 ERA (6 IP, 0 ER), 1.00 WHIP, 0 HR, 7.5 K/9 in 1 start and 1 relief appearance

Povich (0-2, 4.15 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 4.2 BB/9 and 5.8 K/9 in 21 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 7 H (1 HR), 1 BB, 5 K in 3-2 home setback vs. Cleveland Guardians Monday
  • 2024 home splits: 0-1, 2.31 ERA (11 2/3 IP, 3 ER), 1.11 WHIP, .261 OBA, 1 HR, 1 BB, 11 K in 2 starts
  • Career vs. Guardians: 0-1, 4.76 ERA (5 2/3 IP, 3 ER), 1.41 WHIP, 1 HR, 7.5 K/9 in 1 start

Rangers at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 4, Orioles 3

Moneyline

The RANGERS (+125) are worth a roll of the dice as short ‘dogs in this 3rd installment of the 4-game set.

Texas has struggled against left-handed starting pitchers, going 11-14 this season, so be careful. However, you can trust Lorenzen on the road against the rookie southpaw Povich. The results are in, and Povich will NOT be the winning pitcher.

Run line/Against the spread

The RANGERS +1.5 (-155) are not priced out of line if you can’t trust Texas straight up, and you’d prefer a little bit of insurance instead.

Texas has been outscored 28-12 in the 5-game losing skid, but 2 of the past 3 losses have been 1-run games.

Over/Under

UNDER 9 (-110) might be a surprising play in a matchup of Lorenzen and Povich, but both pitchers are actually not that bad.

The Under has a 5-3-1 edge in the past 9 games for the Rangers, while the O’s have been on a total roller coaster ride, alternating the Under and Over in the past 8 games since June 21.
