San Francisco Giants vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction 

Baltimore comes into this game struggling over the last two weeks and they are now three games behind the Yankees in the AL East. The Orioles are 42-33 at home this year, while the Giants are just 31-41 on the road. San Francisco has not played well on the road this season, but they will turn to Blake Snell, who has been outstanding over the last few months. The Orioles are going with Suarez, who has been pretty good as well but did have a terrible outing two starts ago. Snell is the way better pitcher in this matchup, but the Orioles have the better offense and the Giants struggle away from home. Take Baltimore here.
