St. Louis Cardinals vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction
The Orioles didn’t announce a starting pitcher at the time this article was published, but it doesn’t matter. I’ve been fading the Orioles pretty much all season, and a couple of wins over the Red Sox don’t move the needle much. The Orioles are still 16 games below a .500 record, and only the Rockies have lost bettors more money this season. The Cardinals are coming off a nice sweep of the Diamondbacks, and Fedde is in a groove, allowing 20 hits and seven runs in his last 24.2 innings. In 29.2 road innings, Fedde has a 2.43 ERA and a .190 allowed batting average. Give me the Cardinals and the pick ’em price.
