Houston Astros vs Baltimore Orioles Predictions
We’re getting another preview of just how dominant the Houston Astros are as they headed to Baltimore for the Astros vs Orioles game today. These two teams could not be on more opposite trajectories at the moment and while the Astros can’t seem to miss at the plate, the Orioles can’t seem to escape innings unscathed. Will this second matchup of the Astros vs Orioles be another bloodbath of a matchup with the visiting Astros reigning dominant, or can the Baltimore Orioles pull off a heist at home and send the fans away happy? Stay tuned for Astros vs Orioles picks and parlays.
Astros’ Meteoric Rise
The Astros have been a perennial playoff force in baseball and this year is again looking good for them as MLB betting lines have them with the second best odds to win the championship. In the month of June, the team is 19-6 and has been steamrolling nearly every team they have played, including the Baltimore Orioles. In fact, the last Astros vs Orioles 2021 regular season matchup resulted in the Astros sweeping the Orioles in 3 games and outsourcing them 26-3.
It’s hard to see the Astros not succeeding again here at bat as the team in June has averaged 6.32 runs per game with a .301 average. Altuve, Correa, Bregman, and Co. look like they’re in postseason form and against a team that looks like it has given up, they should shine in today’s ball game. This carries huge weight into the Houston Astros vs Orioles prediction.
Underrated Uriquidy
Since making his debut in 2019, Jose Uriquidy has been a less talked about emember of the Houston Astros staff and this is for no good reason. His career ERA is a lowly 3.38, with an insane 1.01 WHIP, and 7.57 K/9. The man is extremely talented and is more than capable of taking on this Orioles starting lineup.
Youngsters Cedric Mullins and Trey Mancini are exciting bright spots in the Baltimore Orioles organization, but the rest of the team is lacking in nearly every area. They are solid at hitting the ball compared to the rest of the league, but their problem lies with sending runners across home plate. With a lack of offensive production and a horrendous pitching staff, Astros vs Orioles picks t
Baltimore’s Bumming Pitching
Baltimore’s pitching is beyond the point of saving and the numbers speak for themselves. The team ranks dead last in ERA with a gross 5.50 mark, while having the second-highest batting average against with .268, and the second-highest WHIP of 1.45. The team is so bad the starter for today is not even listed yet, and to be quite frank, no matter which pitcher hits the mound today, the Astros will absolutely dominate them.
