Colorado Rockies vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/30/24, 6:22 PM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 8/30/24 at 6:24 PM in MLB Picks

The Baltimore Orioles will attempt to arrest a two-game slide as they go up against the Colorado Rockies in Game 1 of their three-game weekend series on Friday at Coors Field. The Orioles (77-58) suffered back-to-back losses to the Los Angeles Dodgers, causing them to drop 1.5 games behind the AL East leader, the New York Yankees (78-56), in the division standings. Baltimore is batting .181 with 3.9 runs per game over their last ten games, in which they have gone 4-6. Although they have maintained a sub-4.00 ERA in that 10-game span, the Orioles would have to churn out more efficient numbers at the plate if they want to keep in step with the Yankees heading into the regular season's final month. The Rockies (50-85) have also gone 4-6 in their last ten assignments, batting .249 with 4.7 runs and pitching a 5.44 ERA. With only a month left in the regular season, Colorado’s postseason fate was already determined months ago.
