Orioles vs Marlins Prediction 

Baltimore was able to snap their losing streak with a win on Monday to start this series, but they have allowed 7+ runs in five straight games. The Orioles are 7-11 on the road this year, while the Marlins are 11-10 at home. Miami has dropped four of their last five games and they have allowed 6+ in three of those five. The Marlins are starting Perez, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in two of his last three starts, while Young has allowed seven earned runs and 16 hits over his last 9.2 innings. I really don’t trust either team, but Baltimore is allowing way too many runs right now. Take Miami to bounce back with a win.
