Orioles vs Mariners Prediction

The Orioles are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Mariners and have won two of their last three visits in Seattle.

In this Orioles vs Mariners Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -160 home favorites. I like the Orioles as road dogs in this matchup, as Woo has been in terrible form, having given up 12 runs in his last two starts. On the flip side, Baz has been very good as of late, having given up two runs or less in each of his last five starts. On top of that, the Mariners rank just 27th against right-handed pitching in the last 10 days. Take the Orioles for plus money.
