Mariners at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Baltimore 3, Seattle 2

Moneyline

BET ORIOLES (-142).

Never feels comfortable recommending laying this much juice, but ultimately the Orioles are the better team offensively and pitching wise. If you believe the Mets will rebound after Saturday's loss to Miami, pairing Baltimore ML along with New York (-154) pays out roughly +180.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Seattle (-184) is too much juice for a run and a half.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (-122).

Both Burnes and Kirby possess a soft contact percentage against of 23.1%, which is Top 8 amongst qualified pitchers. While the strikeout numbers for Burnes may be down, he has been satisfied with the ground ball outs he's been inducing, and his GB% of 51.4% is 10th-highest.

Seattle manager Scott Servais called Kirby's last start vs. KC a "vintage performance" and the Mariners righty added afterward that he liked to be "pissed off" when he pitches. Expect that same fire when these couple of playoff contenders meet Sunday afternoon in front of a solid crowd in Baltimore. Plus, with his reintroduced hard slider/cutter, perhaps the Orioles home run hitting ability will be kept in check.
