The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a slight underdog in this game. The Orioles have been playing well lately and they have started to go on a run again as they have been winning a lot more games recently, and they have been a great team at home all season. The White Sox have been very consistent all season as their record hovers right around the .500 mark, and has been for most of the season. They have not been playing well at all over the last week though and their offense has been very bad in these games as they are not scoring a lot of runs. The White Sox also have Lynn starting here and he has been very bad in a lot of his starts this season, allowing a lot of runs in each one. Lyles is starting for the Orioles here and he has not been great recently but he has been a lot better than Lyles this season and he has the better bullpen behind him and the stronger offense right now as well. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.
