Baltimore Orioles -104 (vs. Oakland Athletics)
Chris Tillman (8-7, 4.66 ERA) vs Sonny Gray (12-4, 2.06)
The Orioles are climbing up the standings as the season heads into its final stretch. They now hold the second wild card spot in the AL and are in a good position to keep at it against the Athletics.
The Orioles are going for the sweep, having taken the first three games. Today’s fixture is likely to be a low scoring one, with Sonny Gray starting for the visitors and Tillman for the hosts. It’s likely that both starters will have a quality game, but the Orioles should still be able to score enough to win. In AccuScore simulations, Baltimore wins 59.3 percent of the games, which would indicate odds of -145. Great value for a team going for the sweep.
Top trends for the past 30 days:
