Pirates at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 3, Pirates 1

Moneyline

PASS.

The Orioles (-145) will complete their home sweep of the Pirates on Sunday afternoon. Despite my confidence in Baltimore, it’s not worth it to risk nearly 1 1/2 units to win back only a unit. Look at the run line instead.

Run line/Against the spread

BET ORIOLES -1.5 (+140).

Ten of Baltimore’s last 11 wins have been by multiple runs. The Orioles are 6-1 in their last 7 home games vs. teams with winning records. Six of Pittsburgh’s last 7 losses have been by multiple runs. These teams are going in opposite directions, take advantage of that fact.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8 (-105).

Pittsburgh cannot score runs at the moment. They have not been able to produce more than 3 runs in any of the last 12 games. While the Orioles have a potent offense, Keller has been the shining light in the Pirates rotation. He’ll keep Pittsburgh competitive and the Orioles under 5 runs in this game.

Pirates at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 6, Pirates 4

Moneyline

PASS.

Baltimore (-175) should hand the Pirates their 4th straight loss, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when the Orioles should win by multiple runs. Bet the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

BET ORIOLES -1.5 (+115).

Nine of Baltimore’s last 10 wins have been by multiple runs. The Orioles have been playing well vs. winning teams lately and are 5-1 in their last 6 home games vs. teams with a winning record. Five of Pittsburgh’s last 6 losses have been by multiple runs and it should struggle to keep this game close with its disadvantage at starting pitcher.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-110).

The Over is 8-3-2 in Pittsburgh’s last 13 games vs. teams with a winning record and 7-3-1 in Baltimore’s last 11 after a win.

These teams tend to play high-scoring games vs. each other, with the Over going 7-2-2 in the last 11 meetings, and Saturday’s matchup should be another offensive showcase with the inconsistent Contreras on the mound for Pittsburgh.

Pirates at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 6, Pirates 3

Moneyline

With how the Pirates have performed recently, I’ll take the ORIOLES (-145) at home in Friday’s interleague bout.

Run line/Against the spread

ORIOLES -1.5 (+135) has great value with the recent struggles of the Pirates. Bradish hasn’t been lights out this season, but Baltimore’s bullpen has been one of the best groups thus far.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 8.5 (-115).

Both Oviedo and Bradish have been allowing runs in bunches in recent starts, and both teams have shown this season that they are capable of producing runs quickly. The Over is 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings in Baltimore and 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings overall.

Pirates at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Pirates 4, Orioles 3

Money line

Figure on a Brubaker bounce-back and on him getting deeper into the contest than Voth. The Pittsburgh pen is in better shape.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS: Pittsburgh +1.5 is a lean and is worth a look at -155 or better.

Over/Under

On a lean toward the lower expected ERA figures for both starters, these two bottom-10 offenses make for some leverage on the UNDER 8.5 (-108).

Pittsburgh Pirates at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Pittsburgh Pirates at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Pittsburgh Pirates (43-62) face the Baltimore Orioles (51-54) Friday in the 1st game of a 3-game set at Camden Yards. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Pirates vs. Orioles odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting since the 2017 season. Baltimore leads the series 12-8 since 2005.

Pittsburgh is coming off an unlikely 3-game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers. They lost 7 in a row before that series and were 8-12 in the last 20 games. The Pirates are a young, sneaky team that could cause some contenders trouble down the stretch.

Despite trading a couple of pieces away at the deadline, the O’s are coming off a 3-game sweep of the Texas Rangers. The Orioles outscored the Rangers 21-7 in the series. Baltimore has won 7 of 10 and is 29-20 at home.

Keller (3-7, 4.37 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 1.42 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 7.8 K/9 in 101 IP.

  • Last 4 starts: 1-1, 1.80 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 7.6 K/9

Pirates at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 6, Pirates 4

Money line

Neither starter figures to last too long, which means this will be a battle of bullpen attrition. The Orioles flaunt the 4th-best bullpen ERA at 3.06, and Pittsburgh’s is 4th-worst at 4.44. We’ll take the ORIOLES (-160) for a HALF UNIT as the ML is right at my limit, and these starters are too unpredictable to take on the First 5.

Run line/Against the spread

All 7 of Baltimore’s wins in the last 10 games have been by 2 or more runs. It’s just a lean here because we could be playing with fool’s gold. But LEAN ORIOLES -1.5 (+130).

Over/Under

The Over is 3-0-1 in the Pirates’ last 4 games and 4-0-1 in their last 5 against a right-handed starter. The Over is 4-0 in the Orioles’ last 4 against a righty and 8-0 in the last 8 home games against a sub-.500 team. The Over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings between the teams and 4-1 in the last 5 in Baltimore. That’s enough for me to take the OVER 8.5 (-107).
