Orioles vs. Angels Prediction
I’m on the Orioles in this one. Detmers has had a fantastic start to the season, but the problem for him in this game is that the Orioles have been smoking lefties over the last couple of weeks and were one of the best road teams in baseball last season and have carried over that form to 2024. The Angels just had a disappointing offensive weekend in one of the most hitter-friendly ballparks in baseball, and I don’t envision that changing in this series even at home. Give me the Halos here.
