Season series: Tied 2-2
The Orioles were trucked 9-2 in the series opener, losing for the 3rd time in the past 4 games, all against American League West opponents. Baltimore’s pitching has been for the birds lately, coughing up 28 runs across the past 4 outings, or 7.0 runs per game (RPG). The Over is 3-1 in the 4-game span, while cashing in 5 of the past 7 games overall.
The Mariners have racked up 8 straight victories to move to within a half-game of a Wild Card spot in the AL. Pitching has been a major reason for the recent success, allowing 2 or fewer runs in each of the past 5 outings. As a result, it’s no surprise the Under is 4-1 across the 5-game stretch.
