Orioles at Mets picks and predictions
Prediction
Mets 3, Orioles 2
Moneyline
LEAN METS (-125).
New York has won the last 4 matchups vs. the Orioles in New York and enters as the slightly hotter team, being 3-1 in its last 4 at home while Baltimore has dropped back-to-back on the road.
This is an extremely slight lean as the Mets have dropped 3 of their last 4 vs. the Orioles and as Baltimore is better on the road (36-25) than New York is at home (34-32).
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
I like the Orioles to cover here as +1.5 (-200) underdogs, but this line is set too heavily in their favor to risk betting on. Bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 8.5 (-105).
The Under has hit in both New York and Baltimore’s last 3 game. For Baltimore, the Under is also 7-3 in its last 10 games and 3-1 in its last 4 on the road.
The Under has also hit in each of the last 2 Baltimore-NY matchups while it is 2-1 in the last 3 meetings in New York.
This is a lean because the Over is 7-3 in the last 10 matchups between these 2 squads and because the Over is 5-5 in New York’s last 10 overall.
