Baltimore Orioles vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction

I’m on the Orioles in this one. Gabriel Hughes has not been able to provide any sort of value starting for the Rockies so far this season and I don’t expect that to suddenly change here. The Orioles have been hitting righties well and even if Hughes had a decent start, this Rockies offense is so stagnant that it’s hard to feel good about where they’re at right now. I’ll back the Orioles here.
