Orioles vs Dodgers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Dodgers listed as a big favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Dodgers have looked great in their games this season with their 78-53 record overall which leads the NL West with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They also have one of the best home records in the MLB with their 43-23 home record. Meanwhile, the Orioles have looked good in their games this season with their 76-56 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the AL East with one of the best records in the MLB. They have looked good in their road games too with their 37-26 road record this season, but they still find themselves trailing the Yankees in their own division. They haven't looked that good in their games lately either, going 4-6 in their last 10 games while the Dodgers have been hot with their 7-3 record in their last 10 games. The Dodgers also have the better pitching matchup here that they can take advantage of. Flaherty is on the mound for the Dodgers and he has been a solid starter all season. He is 10-5 with a 3.00 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs lately. He only gave up 1 earned run in his last start and the Dodgers have won 3 of their last 4 games with him starting too. The Orioles are going to have Irvin on the mound here and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 6-5 with a 4.82 ERA and the team hasn't had much success with him. He gave up 2 earned runs in his last start which isn't bad, but that hasn't been the case for most of the season. The Orioles have also lost 8 games in a row with him starting. The Dodgers have the better pitching matchup in this one along with the hotter offense too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Dodgers to win this game.

Notable Quotes
“He’s been really steady. It’s a mid-90s [mph] righty sinker that he gets a ton of ground balls with and with a good changeup also. He’s been wonderful the last two years.” - Brandon Hyde on Yennier Cano in the bullpen this season.
“Those other teams are really getting hot, and they’re playing very well, and so it was just important for us to keep playing the game. We just have to keep being who we are and doing the same things we always do.” - Mookie Betts after their win against the Rays in their game on Sunday.
