Orioles vs Giants Prediction
The Giants and O’s are coming off their best performances of the season and have to be feeling good entering this series. The problem is we now need to see the Giants do it on the road. I also consider Baz the better pitcher over Roupp, and the Orioles have easier ways to score with more pop in their lineup. I’d need more bang for my buck to side with the Giants in this spot. Cheap price. I have to side with the Orioles at home.
