Baltimore Orioles vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
I’m on the Orioles here. Corbin Burnes had issues in his last road start, giving up four runs, but it was the first start this season where Burnes gave up more than three runs. He’s had ace level stuff all season and I don’t think that changes here against a Mariners team that has series issues against righties at the moment. The Mariners are losing their grip on the AL West lead and I think Baltimore completes the sweep to add to Seattle’s misery here.
