Mariners vs Orioles Prediction
The Orioles won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including four of the last five. I am not impressed with Cade Povich and Emerson Hancock this season, which is the main reason I am going with Over in this game. Povich allowed multiple runs in four of his last five starts, while Hancock surrendered multiple runs in all but one start this season. I am backing both offenses to score 3+ runs in the opening five innings.
