Dodgers vs. Orioles Pick
Spread Pick for Dodgers vs. Orioles
- Baltimore Orioles -1.5
The Dodgers are leading the National League East division, and they are moving towards clinching another playoff berth. But, I don’t think Friday will be a day of victory for Los Angeles. The Dodgers have lost 10 of their last 13 road games. The Dodgers are starting Tyler Glasnow, who has a 5.68 ERA in five road starts. The Dodgers are 6-8 when he has started. The Orioles have been playing better recently, winning four of their last five games which includes a three-game winning streak over San Diego. The Orioles are starting Dean Kremer, who has a 3.26 ERA at home this year. It will be a close game, but Baltimore’s string of good play this week gives me confidence.
Take the Orioles to cover.
Over/Under pick for Dodgers vs. Orioles
- Over 8.5 runs
The Orioles are starting Dean Kremer, who has a 7.78 ERA in eight games against National League clubs. Tyler Glasnow has a 5.68 ERA during road games, which means the offense will be the star of the show in this game. Baltimore is hitting .253 during home games. The Dodgers are hitting .255 against American League clubs, too.
Take the over on Friday.
