Orioles vs Astros Pick, Betting Analysis
After two low-scoring games at Daikin Park, this looks to be the one where both lineups break out.
BARTOLO projects the Orioles for 4.51 runs and the Astros for 4.69, so the total would surpass the current line.
Brandon Young has delivered so far, but his previous outing against Houston was terrible, with 10 runs and nine hits in just four innings pitched.
Meanwhile, Hunter Brown hasn't been as dominant this season. His control has become an issue, dealing nine free passes in his last 10 innings, and holding a 1.39 WHIP.
Also, both offenses do better against right-handed pitchers. The Orioles rank 11th in wRC+ with a 103 rating that goes up to 105 vs. RHP. The Astros are 12th, and their rating increases from 102 to 105.
Pick: Over 8.5 (-105, FanDuel)
