Baltimore Orioles vs Athletics Prediction
The Orioles are 8-4 in their last 12 overall meetings against the Athletics, and are 6-2 in their last 8 meetings in Oakland. Over is 8-4 in their last 12 meetings.
In this Baltimore Orioles vs Athletics Prediction, the Orioles are coming as -150 road favorites. Both teams have identical overall records, but the Athletics are the second-worst home team in the whole MLB. Both teams have bottom-5 bullpens, with a combined 11.02 ERA, and I don’t trust any of those pitchers. Sugano is due to some negative regression, with a 4.49 expected ERA, while Lopez has been awful for the A’s and in terrible form lately. Yesterday’s game had 11 total runs, and Sutter Health Park is a hitter-friendly park, so I will go with the over once again today.
