Dodgers at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 6, Dodgers 5

With both of these teams playing at a high level right now, I’ll side with the ORIOLES (-115) at home. Baltimore is 29-18 at home this season compared to Los Angeles’ 24-23 road record.

Even though I have the Orioles winning outright, I’ll PASS on their run line  at the current price (-185).

OVER 9.5 (-105) has solid value with how these teams have performed recently. Sheehan is coming off a start in which he allowed 5 ER to the Pittsburgh Pirates, and while Rodriguez has looked good in his recent Triple-A stint, the Dodgers have the 2nd-best ISO (.198), the 5th-best wOBA (.335), and the 5th-best wRC+ (112) against righties this season.

The Orioles are also 6-2-2 to the Over in their last 10 games overall.
