Baltimore is 2-5 in their last 7 home games and 4-11 in their last 15 Saturday games while the over is 4-1-1 in their last 6 home games against a team with a right-handed starter. 

Pick

I’m backing the over here. These are simply two starting pitchers that I want nothing to do with, as Brady Singer can win starts but still has an ERA well over six, while Cole Irvin has stunk it up in a limited sample size for the O’s up to this point and I think that we end up with a high scoring game here. Give me the over.
