Mariners vs Orioles Prediction

The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Orioles have been having a great season this year with one of the best offenses in the league and one of the best records in the entire MLB despite only being in 2nd place in the AL East. The Mariners have been terrible this season though with a losing record overall and are in 4th place of the AL West when they were expected to be a real contender to win this division. Their pitching hasn't been great and their offense has been terrible which is going to help them on the road in this series with a very good offensive team in front of them. Kremer is also starting for the Orioles and he has been a solid starter for them this season as he is experienced and hasn't been giving up many runs at all lately. The Mariners are going with an inexperienced rookie to start this game though and even though Miller hasn't been bad this season, he has still been really up and down from start to start and will struggle more on the road here against this really good Orioles offense. The Orioles not only have the better pitching matchup here with experience on their side but they also have a much better offense and will be looking to get back on a roll now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.

Mariners Orioles Prediction:  Our MLB Pick for Saturday, June 24, 2023 (4:05 pm ET start time) is Orioles 5 Mariners 2.
