Los Angeles Angels vs. Baltimore Orioles Spread, Line, Odds, Predictions, Picks and Betting Preview

Sportsgrid-Staff

Angels @ Orioles – First Pitch: 6:35 p.m.

Expected Forecast: Clear Sky, 58°
 

In today’s MLB showdown, we have the Los Angeles Angels and the Baltimore Orioles clashing in Charm City. The Angels are sending Griffin Canning to the mound, while the Orioles will have Kyle Bradish as their starting pitcher. The game’s moneyline is set at a -148 in favor of the O’s, with the total listed at nine.

The series between these teams has been a high-scoring affair so far. However, the weather in Baltimore today might pose a challenge for those looking to bet on a high total. With the temperature pleasant but winds blowing in double digits from right-center field, we may see some impact on the game’s overall run tally.

Despite the winds, it’s worth noting Baltimore has had the upper hand in this series, barring the first game where they faced off against Shohei Ohtani. 

Looking at recent form, Canning, the Angels’ pitcher, has had a disappointing 30-day stretch with a 5.50 xFIP. His splits reveal a weighted on-base percentage of .357 against left-handed batters and .358 against right-handed batters. Both these numbers are on the higher side, which bodes well for Baltimore’s offense. Today’s lineup is expected to feature left-handers like Cedric Mullins, Adley Rutschman, Anthony Santander, Gunnar Henderson, Adam Frazier, and Terrin Vavra, who could potentially exploit Canning’s struggles.

Given the Orioles’ recent good run at home and Canning’s performance, betting on a victory for the Baltimore could be a smart move. From a run perspective, the O’s seems well-positioned to score well in this game. Keep an eye on the total as the game unfolds, and consider the Orioles for the win.
