The Over 9.5 (+100) is shaping up to be a profitable option as the Baltimore Orioles and the Houston Astros, both pitching roughly 5.00 ERA this season, kick off their series on Tuesday.
Momentum: the Baltimore Orioles lost the final two games of their series against the Boston Red Sox, causing them to plunge below .500 again at 13-15.
The Houston Astros snapped a two-game slide with a 7-4 win over the New York Yankees in their series finale. The Astros are still seven games below .500 with an 11-18 record.

Our Baltimore Orioles vs Houston Astros Prediction
Take Over 9.5 runs at +100 is an attractive pick for this series opener, considering that Baltimore and Houston are two of the worst pitching teams in the MLB this season.
The Orioles have posted a 4.43 ERA this season and a 6.70 ERA over the last five games. The Astros have registered a 5.97 ERA this season and a 6.14 ERA over their last five assignments.
Orioles starting pitcher Shane Baz has been atrocious on the mound, registering a 0-2 record with a 5.08 ERA. Kai-Wei Teng is a relief pitcher for the Astros, making his first start this season. Don’t expect him to have a major impact in this game because Houston could pull him out of the mound after just two innings as part of the tactic to give their relief pitchers more time on the mound while resting their starters.
This is going to be a back-and-forth series that will produce plenty of home runs, poor pitching and fielding, and high-scoring games.
Our betting prediction for the Houston Astros vs. the Baltimore Orioles: Over 9.5 Runs.
