The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Orioles have been rolling in their games lately as they have taken over the lead in the AL East and haven't looked back since. Their offense has been rolling in their games while the Mets have been doing the complete opposite this season with a really weak offense and a losing record this year. The Mets have also been struggling a lot in their games lately as they are in the middle of a slump and they don't have the offense to compete with the Orioles. The Mets have Quintana starting here and he has been good in his starts this season, but he did give up 3 runs in his last start and he is going to give up runs here with the way the Orioles have been hitting lately. The Orioles are also going with Bradish in this game and he has been pitching a lot better lately, not giving up as many runs in his starts now. Bradish has been finding his groove while the Mets offense has already been struggling in their games lately and Bradish won't have too much trouble keeping the Mets at bay here while the Orioles offense carries the team yet again in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.
