Baltimore is 2-6 in their last 8 home games and 0-5 in their last 5 home games against a team with a left-handed starter while the over is 12-3-1 in their last 16 Monday games.
Pick
I’m backing the O’s here. Baltimore just battled the Yankees hard at home over the weekend and their reward is a set with the lowly A’s who were providing value in a couple of spots early in the season but have fallen off as of late. Granted, a series with the white-hot Rays will do that to you, but I just feel like these are the kinds of games and series that Baltimore needs to take advantage of if they’re going to be considered a legitimate threat this season. Give me Baltimore here.
