Cubs vs Orioles MLB Betting Preview
Chicago Cubs Betting Preview
The Cubs (52-40) are rolling right now, going 8-2 in their last 10 games. They're looking to complete the sweep of the Orioles in this interleague series.
Chicago is sending out veteran lefty David Peterson for this start. The former Met was shelled for 10 earned runs against the Cardinals in his last outing.
Before that, Peterson gave up two earned runs over 5.2 innings in his only other appearance for the Cubs, so he'll try to bounce back to that level.
Baltimore Orioles Betting Preview
The Orioles (42-51) have gone 3-7 in their last 10 games as they try to avoid the sweep against the Cubs.
Baltimore is going with Trevor Rogers, who is in a nice rhythm right now, having allowed a combined one earned run in his last three starts, spanning 18.1 innings.
The O's will need Rogers to keep it rolling as they try to put an end to this three-game losing streak.
Cubs vs Orioles Pick, Betting Analysis
I'm going with the Orioles moneyline because they have the edge on the mound, and we're getting a reasonable price on the home team.
Rogers' season-long numbers don't tell the entire story. This is a pitcher who got off to a slow start but has found his groove lately. In his last six starts, Rogers has a 1.77 ERA (3.21 xERA) and a 0.98 WHIP, with a 19.4% strikeout rate and a 7.9% walk rate across 35.2 innings. This includes seven scoreless innings against the Dodgers.
Peterson is coming off a 10-run outing against the Cardinals, while the Cubs' bullpen is pretty taxed, with both Jacob Webb and Trent Thornton unavailable for this game. So not only are they at a disadvantage with their starting pitcher, but with their relievers as well.
Bet on the Orioles to avoid the sweep tonight.
Pick: Orioles ML (-130, FanDuel)
