Braves vs Orioles Prediction

The current betting odds have the Braves listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Braves have looked good in their games this season with their 35-28 record overall, but that record only has them in 2nd place of the NL East. They are chasing down the Phillies in 1st place and they had Monday off which gives them a chance to regroup after a really rough series over the weekend. Meanwhile, the Orioles have looked great in their games this season with their 42-22 record overall which is one of the best records in the entire MLB, but that record only has them in 2nd place of the AL East. The Orioles are trailing behind the Yankees in their division, but they still have one of the best offenses in the MLB and have been one of the best teams all season. The Braves also have a really good lineup though and even though they have hit a rough patch lately, they will be looking to bounce back here. The Braves are going to have Fried on the mound here and that gives them a great chance to bounce back since he is 6-2 with a 2.93 ERA this season. The Braves have been dealing with a lot of injuries to their pitching staff this year so they are going to take advantage of this game with one of their better starters. The Orioles also have a solid starter in Suarez on the mound with his 2-0 record and 1.83 ERA, but he gave up 2 earned runs in his last start and hasn't really been a starter as his main role this year. The Orioles are also in a bad travel situation since they are still playing on Monday night in Tampa while the Braves are rested and waiting for them. The best way to place a bet here is on the Braves to win this game. 

Braves Orioles Prediction:  Our MLB Pick for Tuesday, June 11, 2024 (6:35 pm ET start time) is Braves 4 Orioles 2.

Notable Quotes


“It started out really good and baseball happened. I got some unlucky breaks and also gave up some hits I didn’t need to give up and missed some pitches, walked some guys. It is what it is. It’s part of the game.” - Hurston Waldrep after their loss against the Nationals in their game on Sunday.


“I thought he was attacking the zone really well. Was using all of his pitches effectively in zone and then really good two-strike pitches as well.” - Adley Rutschman after their win against the Rays in their game on Sunday.
