Orioles at Angels picks and predictionsPredictionOrioles 5 Angels 4 MoneylineTuesday’s Orioles-Angels match-up made for a tepid play — partial-unit and all on the home nine. Wednesday’s tilt figures as a mirror opposite — a very slight lean toward the visitors. Sandoval is not in good form of late. He’s waked nearly 7 batters per 9 over his last 6 starts and he makes this start on 4 days of rest which is not exactly his preferred interval (.945 OPS allowed in 10 career starts on 4 days of rest). Gibson’s recent clunkers have been fueled by way-out-of-bounds rates around the margins (.360 BABIP in his last 5 starts for example). This figures as a way to get the better club at a slight discount. But again it’s a slight discount BACK THE ORIOLES (-140) on a partial-unit play. Run line/Against the spreadIn relative return the better Baltimore play is the one above PASS. Over/UnderAs with Tuesday’s affair the runs scored vs. expected swing both ways with these clubs. There are reasons both dinging and supporting both sides of this total PASS.
