Baltimore Orioles vs New York Mets Prediction
The Baltimore Orioles are the better team and would be worth a look if the line is reasonable, but they're also on the road and throwing Trevor Rogers out there. Rogers hasn't been good since named an all star a few years ago. The New York Mets need to start taking advantage of home games if they're going to steal a wild card spot, and they've had a lot of success this season with David Peterson on the mound. The Mets offense has heated up over the last few days, and facing Rogers plays right into that hand. Give me the Mets in game 1 against the Orioles.
