Diamondbacks at Orioles picks and predictions
Prediction
Orioles 2, Diamondbacks 1
Moneyline
BET ORIOLES (-125).
Baltimore is the much hotter team entering this matchup. The O’s are 8-2 in their last 10 games, while the D-backs are 5-5 in their last 10. The Orioles are also 5-1 in their last 6 home games.
Dating back to last season, Baltimore has won 4 consecutive matchups vs. Arizona and is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings, going back to 2016.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
I like Arizona to cover here as a +1.5 (-200) underdog, but the line is far too risky to wager on. Bet on the moneyline and/or Over/Under instead.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 8.5 (-120).
The Under is 3-1-1 in Arizona’s last 5 games and is 6-3-1 in its last 10 outings.
For Baltimore, the Under is 4-1-1 in its last 6 home Games and is 6-3-1 in its last 10 Games, per Teamrankings.com.
The Under has also hit in 4 of the last 5 Arizona-Baltimore matchups in Baltimore, dating back 2016.
