Baltimore Orioles Odds

Baltimore is exactly where an MLB franchise doesn’t want to be. The Orioles are coming off a 52-110 2021 season, tied for the worst record in baseball that saw them a staggering 48 games back in the AL East. Unforuntately for the Orioles, the division looks to be stacked with talented rosters for years to come. It could be a long grind for the Orioles and their fans once again in 2022, but maybe they have a few tricks up their sleeve.

Betting on the Baltimore Orioles

Orioles Spread (Run Line)

When betting on baseball, you’ll be faced with three standard options: the moneyline, over/under and run line.

The run line is a bet on the margin of victory, like a point spread. But because baseball is low scoring, the spread will almost always be -1.5 for the favorite and +1.5 for the underdog. The payouts for each will just be adjusted based on each team’s strength.

Here’s a brief example of a run line for a hypothetical Orioles game:

• Arizona Diamondbacks (+1.5)
• Baltimore Orioles (-1.5)

As shown above, the Orioles are favored by 1.5 runs against the Arizona Diamondbacks; the minus sign (-) indicates Baltimore is the favorite, while a plus sign (+) is used to denote the underdog. Bettors who wanted to back Baltimore here would be “laying” those 1.5 runs, meaning for their bets to cash the Orioles would need to win by two runs or more. Bettors who selected the Diamondbacks +1.5 would win if Arizona won outright or kept a loss to 1 run.

The Orioles were 70-92 on run lines in 2021, covering 43.2 percent of the time – good for second to worst record in the league

Orioles Moneylines

Many first time bettors are wary of run line bets, especially when riding with the hometown team. In that case, moneyline wagers are often seen as the safer way to go. A moneyline bet is a bet on who wins the game -- no run line involved.

Let’s use the same example from before to understand the moneyline better:

• Arizona Diamondbacks +150
• Baltimore Orioles -180

Just as with run lines, the minus sign (-) signifies a team is favored, while the plus sign (+) means a team is the underdog. The moneyline odds, written in American odds format here, indicate how big or small a favorite that team is, written in increments of $100. For example, to win $100 on the Orioles, a bettor would need to risk $180. On the flip side, a $100 bet on the Diamondbacks would net $150 if Arizona pulled the upset.

The Orioles went 52-110 in 2021, putting them in last place in the AL East and tied for the worst record in MLB.

Odds can differ from sportsbook to sportsbook, so always make sure you shop for the best line with The Action Network app.

Orioles Over/Unders

Betting on a team to win or cover a run line isn’t the only type of wager allowed on MLB games. Almost all sportsbooks will offer a total on the game, also known as an over/under. This bet is not on the winner of the contest, but on the number of runs the two teams will combine to score; sportsbooks hang a number, and bettors can wager either over or under that total.

If the number for our hypothetical Orioles-Diamondbacks matchup was 8 runs, over bettors would require 9 points or more to cash their tickets, while those who bet the under would need 7 or fewer runs. If the two teams scored exactly 8 runs between them, that bet would push and all wagers would be refunded.

Orioles totals in 2021 were the 11th best in the league when betting the over, hitting at a 79-77-6 clip.

Orioles Props

Some bettors find more entertainment and success betting on more specific outcomes than the result of the game. Prop bets cover a wide market of wagers on player stats, discrete in-game events, and any style of yes/no question. Many props are bets on specific players and their performance, such as betting Trey Mancini over 1.5 hits on a given night, or betting that John Means will strike out over 9.5 batters. Some props can be shorter term, such as betting on the number of runs scored in the first five innings or who will hit a home run. Offerings tend to vary depending on the sportsbook, so use our sportsbook reviews to find the best bet for you.

Orioles Futures

Expectations are low right now in Baltimore, but bettors still have to shop for the best line to get good odds on Orioles futures bets. Futures are bets that focus on long term outcomes, like the Orioles to win the AL East, win the American League Pennant, win the World Series, or even individual awards like winning league MVP.
