Baltimore Orioles (62-67) and Tampa Bay Rays (76-52) will continue their three-game series on Saturday evening at Oriole Park. The Orioles won the series opener 5-3 to end their four-game slide. It was a momentous night for Pete Alonso, who blasted his 30th homer of the season to break the tie and lift the hosts past the Rays. The O’s have now won four games against the Rays in their last eight-night stretch. They’re the exciting +105 betting underdogs today.
Meanwhile, bookies are backing Tampa Bay Rays to bounce back with a win today as the -140 betting favorites. They’ll be keen to get off to another strong start after jumping to a 3-1 lead last night. However, things took a wrong turn when they failed to score after the second inning, allowing the hosts to stage a successful comeback. This defeat now leaves them just 0.5 games ahead of the fifth-placed Orioles in the AL East.

Our Baltimore Orioles vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction
Tampa Bay Rays are the betting favorites for a good reason. They’ve been highly consistent on the road lately and boast a deep squad that should pull them out of trouble. However, the head-to-head statistics paint a different picture, with the Rays winning only once in their last eight meetings with the O’s. Therefore, we’re taking the total runs to stay under 8.5. That’s because both starters have posted some solid numbers this year. The Orioles will start Brandon Young (9-3, 3.52 ERA), whereas the Rays will send Shane McClanahan (9-6, 3.25 ERA) to the mound. We expect McClanahan to deliver solid innings and help the visitors clinch the win.
Our prediction for Baltimore Orioles vs Tampa Bay Rays: Under 8.5 runs.
