Baltimore Orioles @ Tampa Bay Rays - June 10, 2024

As a seasoned bettor with years of experience, I’ve seen winning streaks come and go. The Baltimore Orioles will be putting their three-game winning streak on the line as they face off against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. With the Orioles listed as -172-moneyline favorites, all signs point to them continuing their winning ways.

In the pitching department, the Orioles will have Corbin Burnes on the mound. Burnes boasts a solid 6-2 record this season with a 2.4 ERA and 8.5 strikeouts per game. On the other side, the Rays will be starting Ryan Pepiot, who holds a 4-2 record with a 4.0 ERA and 8.5 strikeouts per game. While both pitchers have similar strikeout numbers, Burnes’ lower ERA gives him the edge in this matchup.

When it comes to batting, the Orioles have been outperforming the Rays this season. The Orioles average over five runs per game with an impressive on-base slugging percentage of over 73%. In comparison, the Rays average four runs per game with a lower on-base slugging percentage of around 66%. With these stats in mind, it’s clear that the Orioles have the offensive firepower to back up their strong pitching.

Looking at recent trends, Baltimore is riding a hot streak with five consecutive ATS wins and victories in 13 of their last 17 games. On the other hand, Tampa Bay has struggled, losing three straight games and going just 6-12 SU in their last 18 games.

Based on these statistics and trends, my prediction for this game is that the Baltimore Orioles will come out on top against the Tampa Bay Rays. The game is likely to see fewer runs scored than expected, making for an under on the Over/Under line of 7.5 set by oddsmakers.

As a bettor who trusts in data and analysis but also acknowledges the unpredictable nature of sports, I’ll be placing my money on the Orioles to extend their winning streak and cover the spread against the struggling Rays tonight at Tropicana Field.
