The Baltimore Orioles just had a six game win streak end against the Tampa Bay Rays this past Sunday. Still, they managed six runs and have had success against the Rays pitching staff overall. Tyler O’Neill has the most experience against Freddy Peralta of any Oriole, and has had a hit in five straight games against the Rays. Would not surprise me to see O’Neill record a run on a home run from Samuel Basallo. Split play for O’Neill to record a run/RBI.

The Rays have the best home record in baseball, but on a recent home stand they lost five of their seven games. Baltimore and Toronto roughed them up, and they get the Orioles today in Baltimore. In the series last week, the Orioles scored 26 runs in four games, winning three. Freddy Peralta gets a chance again today for the Rays, and last week the Orioles beat him 10-2. That game was Peralta's best performance since being traded to Tampa, and he has allowed 12 runs in his last three games. I think there will be a lot of runs in this game, and his last five starts have all gone over the total. Over is the play.
This is a rematch from Sunday, when Trevor Rogers and the Orioles defeated Freddy Peralta and the Rays. This game is part of one of the strongest MLB betting systems (Same pitching matchup in five days, with both starters getting a decision) I have tracked over the past 20+ years. Because the Rays rely heavily on analytics, they usually make the required adjustments. The Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, Brewers, and Rays are the top five teams to bet on using this specific system. Both starting pitchers have an expected ERA around 4.00 this season. In his only career start at Camden Yards, Peralta allowed five hits and one ER across six innings, earning the victory. I think this line should be closer to pick em.
