Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction

The Baltimore Orioles simply can't afford to blow games like this if they're going to win the AL East. The Washington Nationals have thrown in the towel on the season weeks ago, and the Orioles have the offense to punish the Nats. Dean Kremer has had his fair share of his ups and downs, and he's struggled at home at times, but still. There's no excuse for the Orioles to lose this game. I'll lay the juice with the O's at home.
