In this Guardians vs Orioles Prediction, the Orioles are coming as -125 home favorites. I like the Guardians as road dogs in this one in a bounce-back spot. Both pitchers have similar numbers and neither has been in very good form lately, but prior to yesterday’s win, the Orioles had been terrible and I’m not convinced that they turned things around suddenly. In their last 10 games they scored just 2.3 runs against righties and the Guardians had a better bullpen in that span. Take the Guardians for plus money in this one.
