Angels vs Orioles Prediction

The Orioles are 6-2 in their last 8 meetings against the Angels and have won their last four meetings in Baltimore.

In this Angels vs Orioles Prediction, the Orioles are coming as -130 home favorites. I like the pitching matchup in this game with Trevor Rogers going up against Reid Detmers in this southpaw battle. Detmers has given up three runs across his last three starts and Rogers has given up two runs or less in his seven starts before his last one. Both teams cannot hit lefties lately as they average just 4.7 runs per game combined against southpaws in their last 5 games and are 6-0-1 to the under in their last 7 games combined. Yesterday’s game had just four total runs and I expect another low-scoring affair. Take the under 8 in this one.
