Baltimore is 5-0 in their last 5 games overall and 5-1 in their last 6 home games while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a win.
Pick
I’m looking at the Orioles here. I think this is a great building block spot for Grayson Rodriguez to get some confidence going after a tough couple of starts to begin his major league career. I also don’t trust Eduardo Rodriguez and Detroit’s not necessarily the best team in terms of hitting righties going back to last season. Give me the Orioles here.
