Orioles vs Mets Prediction
New York was able to steal game one in this series with a crazy comeback on Tuesday, and they are battling the Phillies for first in the NL East. The Mets are 20-25 on the road this year, while the Orioles are 19-23 at home. In game one, I think the Mets have the advantage, as I still don’t trust Morton on the mound for Baltimore. In game two, Sugano has really struggled recently, and New York is most likely going to use a bullpen game, so give me the over.
