Orioles vs Diamondbacks Prediction
Baltimore comes into this matchup after winning five of their last six games and they have scored 5+ runs in three of their last four. The Orioles are 5-4 at home this year, while the Diamondbacks are 4-5 on the road. Arizona has won four of their last five games and they have scored 5+ in three of those five. Baltimore hasn’t named a starter for this game, but Arizona is going with Nelson, who has allowed three earned runs and eight hits over his last 10.1 innings. Both teams are scoring plenty of runs right now and we know Nelson is inconsistent, so I like the over here.
