Orioles vs Brewers Prediction
Baltimore limps into this series trying to snap a six-game losing streak, but they are just 7-15 on the road, and they have been very disappointing this year. The Orioles just allowed 24 runs to Washington in three games, and they will start Kremer, who has allowed 4+ earned runs in three of his last five starts. Milwaukee has also struggled recently, but they did win on Sunday, and they are 13-9 at home. The Brewers are going with Priester, who has been pretty solid this year, but did have two horrible starts against the Cubs and Cardinals a few weeks ago. I don’t love either pitcher, but I will definitely fade the Orioles until they show me some signs of life. Take Milwaukee here.
