LA Dodgers vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction

I want nothing to do with Cade Povich on the mound given what he’s shown us so far this year, as I don’t think on the road against this Dodgers lineup is where he finds his footing. Bobby Miller has had his issues as well, but all of his struggles have come on the road. At home, Miller has been respectable. I’ll side with the Dodgers to beat the Orioles on Thursday, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the juice.
