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 53-31 record overall which leads the AL East with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They just passed the Yankees for 1st place in the division and will be looking to keep it, and they have also looked great in their road games with their 24-14 road record. Meanwhile, the Mariners have also looked good in their games this season with their 47-39 record overall which has them leading the AL West, and they have also looked good in their home games with their 28-14 home record. They have Kirby on the mound here and he has been really good this season with his 7-5 record and his 3.35 ERA. He only gave up 1 earned run in his last start too, but the Mariners just lost their last series at home to the Twins and they have been cooling off lately. The Orioles also have their own stud on the mound here with Rodriguez as he is 9-3 with a 3.72 ERA. He only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start and he has also been giving up very few runs this year. Both teams have had success with these starters lately, but the Orioles are the hotter team right now as they won their last series and their offense was really hot in it. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.

“He was late with that curtain call. We've got to work on that. That was five seconds too late. It lost its luster. I give the crowd credit for recognizing the moment. We just booted it in the dugout.” - Brandon Hyde after his team’s loss against the Rangers in their game on Sunday.
