The Orioles have won five in a row and 21 of their last 28 games. Starting pitcher Spenser Watkins has a 1.85 ERA in his last six starts. Even after trading closer Jorge Lopez at the deadline, the Orioles still have a dominant back-end of the bullpen behind Felix Bautista, Dillon Tate and Cionel Perez. The Pirates are 19-35 on the road with a negative-88 run differential and starter Bryse Wilson shouldn't garner much confidence. I like an Orioles win by multiple runs, so let's grab the -1.5 run line at +115.
The Orioles won their second game in a row against the Pirates yesterday but it was more about how they did it. They won a close game and they didn’t even need to pitch their top relievers in Cionel Perez or Felix Bautista. None of the Orioles regulars are getting the day off and this team just knows how to win. Spenser Watkins is 4-0 with a 2.65 ERA in his last seven games while Bryse Wilson is 1-4 with a 6.62 ERA in his last seven games. I got this on my book at -168 and I thought that was pushing it. Do not take it at this -190 line, but if you can get it under -175, go for it.
