Tag: Baltimore Orioles vs. Los Angeles Dodgers odds predictions pick betting line spread

[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 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).

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

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.

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)

Flaherty (10-5, 3.00 ERA) makes his 23rd start. He has a 1.01 WHIP, 1.7 BB/9 and 11.3 K/9 in 129 IP with Tigers and Dodgers.

• 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

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.

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.
