Athletics vs Orioles Preview
In the past six games, the Orioles have only been able to score more than three runs in one of them —and it was just a five-run output.
The Baltimore offense ranks 29th this month in wRC+ with a 51 rating, and holds the same spot in slugging (.303) and OBP (.239), while ranking dead last in average (.183).
On Friday, the first game of this series already hit the under with only five runs scored
With the total at 9.5, there is good value in backing another under, as recommended by Bet Labs.
This system targets unders in regular-season MLB games where softer home starting pitchers —low strikeout rates and moderate WHIP— are on the mound in games three or four of a series.
By this point in the series, hitters have seen multiple arms, and scouting reports are sharper, yet scoring remains muted when the matchup lacks overpowering velocity and winds remain neutral.
The setup avoids exaggerated run environments by filtering out strong directional wind influence, keeping offensive surges in check.
With the home team in the middle of the season grind, winning at a modest clip, the market may overlook how often these quiet conditions lead to slower-paced, low-scoring outcomes.
Pick: Under 9.5 (-122, DraftKings)
