Baltimore Orioles vs LA Dodgers Prediction 

Los Angeles comes into this matchup playing very well over the last week and they are trying to hold off Arizona and San Diego in the NL West. Baltimore has struggled a little bit recently and they are now two games behind New York. The Orioles are 37-26 on the road, while the Dodgers are 43-23 at home. I know Flaherty hasn’t been great in his last three starts, but he is the much better option over Cole Irvin. Take the Dodgers to win by at least two runs here.
