Mets vs Orioles Prediction
I’m not excited to get behind Baz, but the Orioles are in must win terrioty and we’re getting plus money to fade the Mets. I’m sorry, but you shouldn’t be laying juice with the Mets at this stage of the season, as they’ve easily been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball. Also, Manaea hasn’t been any better with his 4.79 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. Manaea has a 4.84 ERA and a .270 allowed batting average at home. Give me the O’s and the plus money in a game they need to win to stay in the playoff race.
