Orioles Offense Impressed

The Orioles offense sure impressed on Tuesday, with the offense scoring nine runs, and that was enough for the victory. James McCann hit a home run and drove in three RBIs. In this game, the offense is going to need to get out to a fast start and really try to put the pressure on again early. The Orioles are averaging 5.03 runs per game, while their pitching is giving up 4.32 runs per game. The offense is ranked third in the league, while the pitching is ranked 15th. Anthony Santander has hit 36 home runs and driven in 80 RBIs so far this season. The Orioles will meet the Astros after this series.

Why the Orioles Will Beat the Mets

• The Mets have lost nine of their last 10 day games against American League opponents.
• The Orioles have won five of their last six day games against NL East opponents.
• The Orioles have covered the run line in each of their last seven road games.
• The Mets have failed to cover the run line each of their last seven day games against American League opponents that held a winning record.

Mets Pitching Let Them Down

The Mets pitching really struggled on Tuesday, giving up nine runs and that led to the defeat. The offense actually was pretty strong, scoring five runs, but it wasn’t enough. Jose Quintana went five innings, giving up eight hits and seven runs. The Mets are averaging 4.77 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.54 runs per game. The offense is ranked 10th in the league while the pitching is ranked 20th. They do have a positive run differential of 0.24 which is 14th in the league. Pete Alonso has hit 27 home runs and driven in 69 RBis. Getting the start for the Mets will be Sean Manaea who sits with a 9-5 record and an ERA of 3.46. In his last start against the Miami Marlins, he went seven innings giving up five hits and three runs. 

Baltimore Orioles vs New York Mets Prediction

The Orioles are averaging 5.03 runs per game and their offense is going to be strong again here. Manaea in his last start gave up five hits and three runs against a much worse offense than the Orioles. I expect Baltimore’s offense is going to get out to a fast start here, and the Mets offense is going to have no answer. This is going to be an easy victory by the Orioles here. Back the Orioles on the money line.
