Orioles vs Athletics Prediction

The Athletics are coming off of a series where they played well even though they lost 2 of the 3 games. They were hitting the ball well against the Blue Jays and now they are coming back home for their home opening series with the Orioles. They are going up against an Orioles team that is going to have a lot of confidence in this series after winning their last series against the Yankees and their pitching was very good in that entire series. They only gave up 6 runs against the Yankees and 5 of those came in the 1 game they lost, only allowing 1 run in the 2 games they won. They do not have a starting pitcher listed yet but all of their starters pitched well in that last series and their bullpen was also pitching very well. The A's have been hitting the ball very well in 2 straight series now against the rays and the Blue Jays but the Orioles have been pitching well and for the value here, it is worth it to take them on the runline here as they have been playing well. The Orioles may lose this game but it will be within 1 run at least.
