Athletics vs Orioles Prediction, Betting Analysis
For Saturday’s Orioles vs. Athletics matchup, we’re tailing a top recommendation from PRO Projections and backing Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler to record a double. Butler ended a lengthy 19-game stretch without a double in last night’s game, cashing in at +600 odds with a timely extra-base hit.
Our proprietary PRO Projections model, which integrates expert analysis alongside player and market data to spot betting advantages, suggests there’s strong value in taking Butler for another double at +550 odds Saturday. The Action PRO tool projects Butler to hit approximately 0.33 doubles against Baltimore, implying the current market significantly undervalues Butler to repeat the feat.
Butler’s role as the typical leadoff hitter means he is expected to get around five plate appearances on the road today. Throughout the 2025 season, Butler has demonstrated a tendency for doubles, tallying 25 compared to 15 homers. Additionally, today’s game is in Camden Yards, which ranks ninth among MLB parks for doubles per game, offering a favorable environment for extra-base hits. Taking all factors into account, Butler’s double at +550 offers a data-driven betting edge in this matchup.
