MLB Betting Trends
Baltimore
The Orioles are just 13-40 in their last 53 road games and 1-4 in their last five Thursday games. However, they have won 9 of Bundy’s last 13 starts against a team with a losing record.
Chicago
The White Sox have won four of Giolito’s last five starts against a losing team. They are 8-17 in their last 25 home games and 7-2 in their last 9 Thursday games.
Prediction:
The White Sox don’t have the edge in starting pitching today, but the Sox are playing pretty well right now against some bad teams. Wednesday was the first game in this series that was lopsided, so I would expect Chicago to keep it close despite who is on the mound. I think their hitting has been a little big stronger right now and I will take them as a home underdog again.
The Pick: Chicago White Sox +125
