Orioles vs Braves Prediction 
Baltimore comes into this contest looking to complete the series sweep, while Atlanta is trying to snap their three game losing streak. The Braves are 24-21 at home this year, while the Orioles are 20-27 on the road. Atlanta is really struggling right now and they are starting Holmes, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four straight outings. The Orioles are going with Rogers, who has allowed a total of two earned runs in his last 13.1 innings. Both of these pitchers have been decent in recent outings, but I think we have some value with the Orioles at plus money. Take Baltimore here.
