Orioles vs Cardinals Prediction

The Cardinals are coming into this game on a 2 game losing streak but they have not been playing badly in their recent games and they have been hitting the ball very well. They are going up against an Orioles side here that has also been playing very well in their recent games and just won their last series at home but they have only been playing well at home this season and have really struggled to win games on the road. The Cardinals have been hitting the ball well recently and they have a good pitching staff to back them up in this game. They also play very well when they are at home and the Orioles have been overachieving in a lot of their games this season. They will regress in this series being back on the road and this should be a nice bounce back game for the cardinals at home here. The best bet to place here is on the Cardinals to win this game.
