Dodgers vs Orioles Prediction
The Dodgers are going to be favored because they’re the Dodgers. The Orioles have also underachieved up to this point. With that said, this is a steep price for Sheehan, who has a 4.76 ERA and 1.20 WHIP on the season. In June, Sheehan has allowed 10 hits and 7 runs in 12.2 innings, and the Dodgers are 0-3 in those frames. Young has been sharper with a 3.18 ERA and 1.25 WHIP, and he’s allowed 13 hits and 6 runs in his last 19.1 innings. You’ll make money fading the Dodgers and these inflated lines this season. This feels like a respectable spot to do just that.
