Baltimore is 92-194 in their last 286 road games against a team with a right-handed starter and 17-35 in their last 52 Saturday games while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 game two matchups. Chicago is 2-5 in their last 7 games overall and 3-10 in their last 13 home games while the under is 3-0-1 in their last 4 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing the Orioles here. I just don’t trust Michael Kopech in this matchup and Baltimore is definitely playing well right now, especially on the road and finding their groove offensively. The White Sox also have struggles in the bullpen, so even if Kopech has a decent outing, nothing is safe. I’ll back the Orioles in this one.
