Orioles vs Rockies Prediction
Colorado comes into this series with one of the worst records in the MLB, but they have won two series in a row and have some momentum. The Rockies are just 12-38 on the road this year, while the Orioles are 22-25 at home. Baltimore is coming off of a rough series with the Guardians and they are starting Kremer, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in four of his last five starts. Colorado is going with Freeland, who has allowed three earned runs or more in four of his last five. This Rockies team has been awful on the road and while I don’t really trust Baltimore, I will take them -1.5 here.
