Orioles vs Guardians Prediction
The Orioles have been a disappointment up to this point, and Morton isn’t a pitcher I’m excited to get behind. Through 13.1 innings, Morton has allowed 17 hits and 13 runs while walking eight. The Guardians are coming off a strong week, and Allen has allowed just four earned runs in his first 10 innings. We’re getting the pitcher in better form and the team that’s playing better ball overall with the more favorable price. The Orioles are too talented to stay in this funk forever, but the value in this game, in particular, is with the Guardians and the plus money.
