Orioles vs Mariners Prediction
The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a pick 'em 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 haven't looked as good in their games lately though, going 3-7 in their last 10, while the Orioles are only 4-6 in their last 10 but won 3 of the 4 games in their last series. The Mariners will have Gilbert starting in this game and he is 5-4 with a 2.72 ERA. He only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start and has been pitching well lately, but he has also had a few bad starts where he has given up quite a few runs. The Orioles will have Burnes on the mound here and he hasn't had as many starts this year where he gave up a ton of runs. He is 9-3 with a 2.28 ERA this year, only giving up 1 earned run in his last start, and that has been a common theme for him. He leads the team with 9 wins this season and the team has had a ton of success with him on the mound, winning 7 of the last 8 games he started in. The Orioles already have the slight advantage with this pitching matchup but they also have the better offense that has been putting up more runs lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.
