Randy’s Pick

The Orioles didn't announce a starting pitcher at the time this article was published, but I don't think it matters. The Rockies continue to pile up the losses, and Ty Blach isn't the sort of pitcher who is likely to turn things around, especially on the road. As Ive said before, the O's are the most profitable team in MLB over the last 180 days. You make money blindly backing the Orioles. That doesn't change here against the worst team in the NL. Give me the Orioles and the RL for max betting value.
