Orioles vs Dodgers Prediction
Los Angeles may have one of the best records in the MLB this year, but they are struggling right now, as their lead is shrinking in the West. The Dodgers are 33-36 on the road this season, while the Orioles are 31-37 at home. Baltimore is coming off of a nice sweep of the Padres and they are starting Kremer, who has allowed 13 earned runs and 16 hits in his last two starts. LA is going with Glasnow, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in five straight outings. I want to take the Dodgers, but they have looked awful, so I will side with the over, as Kremer has really struggled.
