Athletics vs Orioles Pick, Betting Analysis
Jacob Lopez is a very vulnerable starting pitcher, especially behind his 15% walk rate.
Meanwhile, Baltimore’s offense has come alive in recent days.
Meanwhile, Kyle Bradish has also been extremely disappointing this season. He’s posted just a 9% strikeout minus walk rate this season. While I came into the season very high on Bradish, I’m starting to include more in-season data in my projections, and Bradish’s numbers haven’t looked very good.
The weather seems fine. It’s a little cold at 60 degrees, but the wind is blowing out.
Regardless, I make this total close to 10.2.
Pick: Over 9.5 (-110 or Better)
