Atlanta is 2-4 on its 9-game road trip which concludes in Baltimore. They lost their 3rd straight game on Sunday, 8-5 to the Washington Nationals.

Braves at Orioles picks and predictions
Prediction
Orioles 6, Braves 4
Moneyline.
BET ORIOLES (+116).
Fried has won 3 straight starts and 4 of his last 5, but that run comes to an end in Baltimore on Tuesday. The Orioles have owned lefties with a record of 13-5 and over .800 OPS on the season. They are also 22-12 at Camden Yards winning 4 of their last 6 games.
Atlanta was a pre-season World Series favorite, but they have played below .500 baseball over their last 30 games. They just dropped 3 games in a row to a far inferior Nationals team. All the momentum is on the Orioles side heading into this series.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
I’m keeping my wager to the moneyline in this one.

Over/Under
LEAN OVER 8 (-112).
I don’t love the trends toward that bet. I’m not going to make it a strong recommendation because the teams are 2-6 against the Over in their last 8 meetings.
Atlanta is 3-3 against the Over and the Orioles are 3-2-1 in their last 6 games.
