Padres vs Orioles Prediction

As if backing the Orioles wasn’t difficult enough, they’re throwing out Wells for the first time. Wells had UCL revision and brace augmentation surgery in June of last year, so there’s no telling what he’s going to look like in his first game back. Wells wasn’t good last year in limited frames. Darvish has been a mess in his own right this season, but the Padres simply can’t afford to blow games like this if they’re serious about making a push for the NL West crown. There are no excuses in a game like this. Give me the Padres and the RL for max betting value.
