Angels vs Orioles Prediction
The Orioles are 7-2 in their last 9 meetings against the Angels and have won their last 5 meetings in Baltimore,
In this Angels vs Orioles Prediction, the Orioles are coming as -190 home favorites. I like the Orioles to keep rolling in this one against a struggling Ryan Johnson and his 7.63 ERA and 1.59 WHIP. Johnson has been terrible on the road with a 0-5 record and 9.55 ERA, while Brandon Young has been better at home for the Orioles with a 2.85 home ERA. The Angels’ offense has been ice-cold lately, as they average just 2.5 runs per game in their last 10 and just 1.4 run per game against right-handed pitching in their last 5. The Orioles have covered the runline in both games of this series and I expect them to do so again today.
