The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a slight favorite in this game. The Orioles have been playing very well over the last few weeks and they have played themselves into a position where they have a chance to make the playoffs in a wild card spot this season. The White Sox have not been playing very well in their recent games as they have only won 1 of their last 5 games, and they have Giolito starting here who already has not pitched that well this season and is coming off of a start where he allowed 7 runs. The Orioles have been winning a lot more games lately and they have also been a very good team at home all season. The White Sox have won a lot of their games over the last 2 weeks with good pitching as their offense has not been scoring runs recently. Their offense has still been bad lately but now their pitching is starting to slip up and the Orioles bullpen has been pitching very well in their recent games. They also have Watkins starting here who has been pitching well recently and the Orioles have had a much better offense at home as well. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.
