The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Orioles have been having a great season this year, they are only 2nd place in their division as they trail the Rays but they do have one of the best records in the entire MLB and also have a really good offense too. The Orioles can definitely put up a ton of runs when they need to and they are going to get plenty of scoring opportunities in this game. The Reds have also been really hot lately as they have been winning a lot of their games but they have been winning most of those games with a great offense since their pitching has been so bad and they have still been giving up a ton of runs in their wins. They have a rookie starting in this game and Abbott has been really good in his few starts this season, but he did give up 3 runs in his last start and he is going to get himself into trouble on the road against this kind of strong offense that the Orioles have. The Orioles haven't been pitching great this season either but their bullpen has been better lately and they do have Wells on the mound who has been a solid starter all season. Wells did give up 4 runs in his last start but that was against the Rays who have the best record and one of the best offenses in the league, he will be looking to bounce back at home here and will have a much better outing with plenty of run support behind him too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.

“Games like that, when you lose them are, it’s hard to swallow. Because you fight back so hard. Honestly this team does it more than any team I’ve ever been around.” - David Bell after his team’s loss against the Braves in their game on Sunday.

“It's not football, where it's once a week and you're getting blown out. Things happen in a game, and sometimes you get beat by a lot of runs. Our guys, and major league players in general, don't really let that carry over.” - Brandon Hyde after his team’s win against the Mariners in their game on Sunday.
