The Athletics come out as an enticing underdog pick at +110 against the Baltimore Orioles, who average 2.67 runs per game against the A’s over their last three meetings.
Momentum: The Baltimore Orioles are the favorites at -130 to take Game 2 despite dropping their last two games and three of their last five assignments. Baltimore is 9-10 at home this season and 17-22 overall, sitting in last place in the brutally competitive American League East.
The Athletics improved to 20-18 after winning back-to-back games, including a gutsy 4-3 win over the Orioles in Game 1. The Athletics have now won 11 of their last 15 games on the road, making them an enticing underdog pick at +110 moneyline in Game 2.
Starting Pitchers: Athletics RHP Aaron Civale (3-1 2.95 ERA) vs. Orioles Shane Baz (1-3, 4.99 ERA).
Civale has surrendered one earned run over his last 11 innings on the bump. Saturday’s start marks the first time Civale will pitch against the Orioles in almost two years. He gave up 4 earned runs over 5 innings in a 6-3 loss to Baltimore while he was still playing for the Tampa Bay Rays on June 27, 2022.
Baz will try to rebound from a poor start against the New York Yankees on May 4. The Orioles starter surrendered 5 earned runs over 5.2 innings in a 1-12 loss. Baz has also lost his last two starts against the Athletics, giving up a total of 7 earned runs over 14 innings pitched.

Our Baltimore Orioles vs Athletics Prediction
Take the Athletics to take Game 2 (+110 moneyline). Strutting his hot form, Aaron Civale will neutralize the Orioles’ offense that averages 2.67 runs per game across the last three meetings with the Athletics. The A’s offense will continue to deal major damage in Game 2 as they average 6.0 runs per game over their last three faceoffs against Baltimore and 5.5 runs pe game on a .246 BA over their last five games.
As for the Orioles, Shane Baz hasn’t delivered a strong game against the A’s ever since blanking them for 7.2 innings in 2024. Baz has racked up 18 strikeouts over his last two starts against the Athletics, but he has also given up 7 earned runs over 14 innings while absorbing two losses. Baz’s 5.34 ERA over his last five starts makes the Orioles vulnerable to giving up an early lead in this game.
Our betting prediction for the Athletics vs. the Baltimore Orioles: The Athletics will win.
