The Dodgers are entering this series off a win and won their 3-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 in their last series.

This is the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Orioles on Wednesday with the 1st game of this series still to be played on Tuesday. Their offense ranks 3rd in the MLB with a .765 OPS.

The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a slight underdog 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. The Dodgers have been really hot lately with their 7-3 record in their last 10 games while the Orioles are only 4-6, but the Orioles do have the better pitching matchup here and will be looking to bounce back after ending their last series with a loss. The Orioles need to keep fighting to get to the playoffs and they are going to get some help here from their stud Burnes who is on the mound in this one. Burnes is 12-6 with a 3.28 ERA and he hasn't looked his best lately, but he is a reliable starter that has been consistent all season and he will be looking to bounce back with a better performance. He gave up 5 earned runs in his last start and the team has lost 2 games in a row now with him starting, but he will bring his best effort for one of the best teams in the MLB here. The Dodgers are going to have Buehler on the mound here but he hasn't looked great since coming back from his injury. He is 1-4 with a 6.09 ERA and has struggled to keep teams off the board. The Dodgers have won 2 of their last 3 games with him starting, but he did give up 3 earned runs in his last start and that has been a common theme for him. Burnes is going to give the Orioles their best chance to take a game from the Dodgers in this series. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.

“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.
