Baltimore Orioles vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction
The Baltimore Orioles continue to have issues finishing games, and they’ve underachieved through their first 12 games. Kremer has been up and down these last couple of seasons, and he’s been hit hard through 9.2 innings this season. Pfaadt has had his issues as well, and he has an ERA over five through 52 career MLB starts. The difference in this spot is the Diamondbacks have the more consistent offense, and it’s easier to have confidence Arizona can work its way around a bad inning or two from its pitching staff. The line is cheap. Give me the Diamondbacks to win the series against the Orioles.
