Royals vs Orioles Betting Prediction
Baltimore comes into this game after winning three of their last four games and they looked poised for another solid season this year. The Orioles have scored a bunch of runs through four games and they will go up against Alec Marsh, who had a very poor 2023. Baltimore will turn to Cole Irvin for the start in this game, who was actually pretty solid for the Orioles last year. I think Baltimore is going to have another big day at the plate and I am taking them to win by at least two runs here.
