Kansas City is 7-16 in their last 23 Saturday games and 2-7 in their last 9 road games. The over is 5-2-1 in Kansas City’s last 8 games. Baltimore is 24-59 in their last 83 games and 34-74 in their last 108 Saturday games. The under is 17-5-1 in Baltimore’s last 23 home games. The under is 4-1 in these two teams last 7 head to head meetings.

This is a pitching matchup between two pitchers that are not very strong. On the offensive side, Kansas City has not been good this season and has been a big part of their recent struggles. Baltimore has the slightly better pitcher and he is coming off of an outing where he allowed one run over 6 innings. I like the Orioles here.
