The Baltimore Orioles will head to the Windy City to face the Chicago White Sox for a three-game set this weekend from Guaranteed Rate Field. Baltimore won five of seven meetings last season, including three of four in the Southside.
Orioles Betting Preview
Baltimore moved to 7-6 after defeating Oakland. The Orioles responded to a game-three loss by closing the series with a walk off victory over the Athletics, 8-7. The Baltimore offense is scoring 5.05 runs per game, while batting .246, with a .335 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 5.37 ERA, with a 1.38 WHIP. Ryan Mountcastle has hit four homers in the last four games, and he leads the O’s with 18 RBI. Adley Rutschman hit the walkoff homer against the A’s, and he leads Baltimore in batting average (.391).
Tyler Wells (0-1, 3.27 ERA, 8 Ks) will get the ball for Baltimore. The third-year pitcher put up a good fight versus the Yankees on Sunday, striking out six in six innings pitched, while allowing four runs. Wells was also solid in his season debut, tossing five shutout innings versus Texas on the road.
White Sox Betting Preview
Chicago comes in at 5-8 after losing to Minnesota. The White Sox were silenced for eight innings, and ended up falling to the Twins after a failed late rally, 3-1. The Chicago offense is 4.72 scoring runs per game, while batting .263, with a .315 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 5.79 ERA, with a 1.57 WHIP. The White Sox have received production from all throughout the lineup. Luis Robert Jr. leads CWS in batting average (.340) and RBI (11), after recording a hit in eight of the last ten games. Andrew Vaughn is carrying a five-game hit streak into this series, and he’s second on the team with 9 RBI.
Mike Clevinger (2-0, 3.48 ERA, 9 Ks) will take the mound for Chicago. The eighth-year pitcher will make his first home start here after a pair of road outings. Clevinger was dialed in for his season debut at Houston, but he struggled versus Pittsburgh last week, giving up four runs in 5 ⅓ innings of work, but the offensive firepower led to a winning decision.
Baltimore vs Chicago Trends
Baltimore is 7-6 against the spread this season, with a 9-4 over/under record. Chicago is 6-7 ATS this year, with a 8-4-1 O/U record.
Corey's Free Pick
Chicago’s offense was quiet towards the end of their six-game road trip, and I think a return to the Southside is just what they need to wake up offensively. Baltimore is never an easy out and as upset-happy as they come, and that could reflect on the scoreboard in game one. Both lineups have the bats to cause trouble versus inconsistent pitching, so take the over for this contest.
