Season series: tied 1-1

The Orioles and Reds appear to be the up-and-coming teams in the years to come after years of bottom-feeding. Cincinnati’s 3-1 victory Tuesday showcased a little pitching on both sides as Orioles RHP Tyler Wells tossed 6 innings with 2 earned runs and Reds LHP Andrew Abbott went 6 innings with 1 earned run. Cincinnati SS Matt McLain hit the go-ahead home run in the 6th and OF TJ Friedl hit an insurance solo shot in the 8th.

Prediction

Reds 7, Orioles 5

Moneyline

Both of these teams have impressed this season and while there are reasons for the Orioles (-175) to be favorites there is more value in picking the Reds (+145).

The Reds are 21-18 on the road and 18-16 as underdogs on the road. They are also 15-2 in their last 17 road matches versus a right-handed pitcher, per covers.com.

LEAN REDS (+145).

Run line/Against the spread

For those looking for a less risky bet, the Reds have a phenomenal 26-13 road record against the spread. Cincinnati has the best ATS record in MLB off a victory with a 65.9% cover percentage. On the other hand, Baltimore has a 14-15 ATS record as a home favorite.

BET REDS +1.5 (-130) if you’d like a little insurance.

The Cincinnati Reds (41-38) and Baltimore Orioles (48-29) play the middle contest of a 3-game interleague series Tuesday. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Reds vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Orioles lead 1-0

The Reds were dumped 10-3 in the interleague series opener Monday night in Charm City. Cincinnati has dropped each of its last 3 outings while allowing 7 or more runs in each of the past 4 contests. The Over is 4-0 in the 4-game stretch.

The Orioles racked up a 3rd consecutive victory — all at home — after suffering a 13-1 loss Friday in the 1st game of a 9-game homestand. The Over has cashed in 6 of Baltimore’s last 7 contests.

Cincinnati slipped to 15-10 in interleague play Monday, while Baltimore improved to 10-8 against the National League.

This game might face a weather delay as Monday’s opener did, with the forecast calling for a 60% chance of showers at 7 p.m. ET, tailing off to around 30% by 8 p.m. ET. The game might not start on time, but the forecast looks like the game will get in.

• Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 3 ER (3 solo HR), 4 H, 0 BB, 10 K in a 5-3 home win vs. the Colorado Rockies Wednesday

Reds at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Reds 3, Orioles 2

Moneyline

The REDS (+120) have lost 3 straight games and allowed a total of 34 runs across the past 4 games. The last time Cincinnati allowed fewer than 7 runs was a 5-3 victory with Abbott on the bump on Wednesday.

However, the Orioles are just 2-5 in the past 7 outings in Game 2 of a series and are just 18-38 in the past 56 interleague games against a team with a winning overall record.

Run line/Against the spread

The REDS +1.5 (-165) aren’t priced out of line if you just cannot trust them straight up and would like a little bit of insurance.

Cincinnati has had some issues after a loss, going just 2-6 in the past 8 games after a setback. However, Abbott has been outstanding since his recall from the minors and he’s worth backing until he starts to cool off.

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (+100) is the best play on the board in this battle.

The Over has dominated for both of these teams lately, but both Abbott and Wells have been tossing up a lot of donuts lately.

The Under is 3-1 in Abbott’s 4 starts since being recalled while the Under holds a 7-5-1 edge in Wells’ past 13 appearances.
