Giants Offense Has Been a Problem

The Giants offense has been a problem heading into this game and they are going to look to bounce back here. Over the last four games, the Giants offense has scored only four runs total and that isn’t enough. In the last game against the San Diego Padres, they were defeated 4-3. Landen Roupp went five innings giving up two hits and zero runs. The Giants are averaging 4.22 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.41 runs per game. 

The offense is ranked 19th in the league while the pitching is ranked 17th. Matt Chapman has hit 24 home runs and driven in 73 RBIs. Getting the start for the Giants will be Blake Snell who sits with a 3-3 record and an ERA of 3.52. In his last start against the Milwaukee Brewers, he went five innings giving up four hits and one run. 

Orioles’ Bats are Slumping

The Orioles bats are slumping heading into this game and in three of the last four games they have scored three runs or less. In the other game, they scored four runs. On Sunday the Orioles only scored two runs against the Detroit Tigers. The Orioles are averaging 4.85 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.29 runs per game. The offense is ranked 6th in the league while the pitching is ranked 15th. Anthony Santander has hit 41 home runs and driven in 95 RBIs so far this season. Getting the start for the Orioles will be Albert Suarez who sits with an 8-5 record and an ERA of 3.39. In his last start against the Boston Red Sox, he went six innings giving up four hits and one run.

Why the Orioles Will Beat the Giants

  • The Giants have lost each of their last four games as road favorites against AL East opponents.
  • The Orioles have won nine of their last 10 Tuesday games as home underdogs.
  • The Giants have failed to cover the run line in each of their last seven night games against AL East opponents.
  • The Orioles have covered the run line in six of their last seven games against the Giants following a loss.
  • The Giants have trailed after 5 innings in each of their last five night games against AL East opponents that held a winning record.

Baltimore Orioles vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

This game is going to be lower-scoring. Both offenses have had some major issues scoring heading into this game and that will be the problem here. Snell gave up only one run in his last start and he’s going to dominate here. Suarez is going to dominate here also and this game is going to be lower-scoring. Neither team is reaching three runs here. Back the under to cash with ease.
