The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Orioles have looked great in their games this season with their 43-22 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the AL East with one of the best records in the entire MLB, trying to chase down the Yankees who lead their division. Meanwhile, the Braves have also looked good in their games this season with their 35-28 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the NL East, but surprisingly, they haven't been the best team in their division this year and it hasn't even been close. The Braves are chasing down the Phillies in 1st place but even with their 35-28 record, they are still 9 games behind the Phillies. The Braves haven't looked great in their games lately either as the injuries just keep piling up for them and now they will be without one of their best players for the rest of the season, Ronald Acuna Jr. It is only a matter of time until the Braves start to slip up and the Orioles are just a much better team in the MLB right now. Both of these teams are going with rookie starters in this game who have both been terrible so far, both starters giving up 6 earned runs in their last starts respectively, but the Orioles have the better offense this year to help them out in this game. The Orioles have also been the hotter team lately so look for them to exploit this rookie starter and beat up on a Braves team that just hasn't looked right all year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.
