Baltimore Orioles
Given the kind of expectations that were given to them at the beginning of the season, it is fair to say the Orioles have played better than what a lot of people thought.
Look, it is not as if they have been some great team this year, but I can see some improvement in their play. This is a team that does play a crisper brand of baseball and they are certainly more competitive than they have been in a while.
Yes, they are still in the basement of the AL East and that will likely be the case for years to come, but I no longer view them as a true bottom feeder in the MLB. There are plenty of teams that are worse than them right now and do not have much direction with their club.
A big problem for Baltimore in the past has been the pitching. I would still say the starting pitching is an area that has to get a lot better, but there does seem to be an improvement in that bullpen and they now have some legit arms in the pen.
The common idea used to be that the opponent wanted to get to the Orioles’ starter so they could do more damage to their relievers. Now, they just hope the starters stay out there longer because having success against the pen is not as easy as having it against the rotation.
If the Birds can figure out ways to really bolster their starters and get some more power hitters in the lineup, then I could see them being more of a threat in the future. What they have going now is progress, but they still have an awful lot of work to do before they get to where they want to get.
It is well documented that the White Sox are scuffling and they have drastically underperformed this season, but the O’s still went into the windy city and took three of four from them. No matter how poorly Chicago is playing, I think those results shocked a lot of folks.
The Orioles keep up their road trip, as they head to Seattle and this is not a series where they should not feel overmatched. The Mariners are the better team, but they have plenty of flaws and are a beatable team. It all starts with Tyler Wells on Monday and he has shown me some good things in his short career.
Seattle Mariners
When I think of some of the teams that have been the most disappointing this season, the Mariners are at the top of the list for me.
As I look at them, I do not see a team that is all that impressive. I think they are very mediocre and it would not shock me if they end up being a middler or even a squad that is below that when the season is over.
After a 90-win campaign in 2021, there was reason to feel optimistic about Seattle for this season. The hope is that they would build off what they did a year ago and really put it together this season. Well, that has not happened, and unless they get red hot and other teams go ice cold, it will be another season for them where they are not in the postseason.
There was a narrative out there for a while how the M’s were the closest threat to the Astros in the West, but that simply is not the case. The reality is, that nobody in that division is a true threat to Houston. Sure, LA, Texas, etc., might be improved, but they still have a long way to go before they get to the level of one of the best teams in the sport.
Coming into play, the Mariners are 4th in the West. Forget the Astros. They need to figure out how they can get ahead of the Angels and Rangers first. I don’t care what the division is, it is hard to expect a lot with a record of 34-40.
Speaking of the Angels, this crew went into LA and took two of three over the weekend. It might not have been the biggest statement in the world, but they will look to carry that over into this series with the Orioles.
Despite a 2-1 loss on Sunday, Marco Gonzales was able to put forth a solid effort, but the offense just did not do enough. The pitching has been hit or miss this year, but they have looked better in that area in their last multiple series and that will need to keep up as the summer rolls on.
George Kirby will be getting the start here and he has been pretty good so far. The youngster is 2-2 with an ERA of 3.12 and he is coming off a solid outing against Oakland.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- The Orioles are 5-1 in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning record.
- The Orioles are 30-73 in their last 103 road games.
- The Mariners are 5-1 in their last 6 games on grass.
- The Mariners are 5-14 in their last 19 vs. the AL East.
Baltimore Orioles vs. Seattle Mariners MLB Prediction:
This is a series that the Mariners have to do well in, but I do not see it being an easy one for them.
Both teams will be featuring young starters without a ton of experience. It is not by a huge margin, but I do view Kirby as the better arm and I trust him more in this spot.
I look for the Orioles to be tough in this one, but for Seattle to eventually be too much for them to handle.
In a spot like this, the runs are too many for me to lay with the M’s. Instead, I will lay the Moneyline with them at home.
