The Baltimore Orioles (50-49) take on the Cincinnati Reds (38-60) Friday in the 1st game of a 3-game set at Great American Ball Park. First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Orioles vs. Reds odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: These sides haven’t faced one another since 2017.
The O’s have gone 15-5 over their last 20 games to get above .500. They took 3-of-4 games against the Tampa Bay Rays in their last series and are just 3 games out of an AL Wild Card spot. OF Anthony Santander leads the team with 17 homers and 52 RBIs.
One domino has fallen — and several more are likely to follow — as the Reds traded OF Tyler Naquin to the New York Mets Thursday. The Reds have been scrappy with an 11-9 mark over their last 20 contests as they have received great starting pitching of late. Before yesterday’s bullpen implosion, the Reds had allowed just 10 runs in their last 4 games.
