The PLAY: F5 Baltimore Orioles Total Over 2.5 (-120) Action
Hitting conditions should be favorable in Baltimore this evening with warm temperatures and a light breeze blowing out to left-center. We are interested in backing Baltimore's bats in this matchup against Cubs' starter Colin Rea. Since the O's are at home with no guarantee to get an opportunity in the bottom of the ninth, we're going to focus on the first five innings where Baltimore's team total is available at o2.5 runs (-120) at DraftKings. Rea enters Wednesday in the bottom-15th percentile among pitchers in expected ERA, expected batting average allowed, strikeout rate, whiff rate and barrel rate. Rea has posted a 6.60 ERA with a 1.60 WHIP on the road this season. He's pitched better in recent weeks, but Rea is still struggling with command as he's allowed three walks in four of his last five games. That's likely going to be an issue this evening against an Orioles' lineup that has the fifth-best walk rate against right-hand pitching this season. When facing a right-hand pitcher at Oriole Park, Baltimore is hitting .260 (No. 7 in MLB) with a .346 on-base percentage (No. 5) and a 122 wRC+ (No. 2).
