Athletics vs. Orioles day pick
Who will open up today’s doubleheader between the Oakland Athletics and Baltimore Orioles with a win at 1:05PM ET?
The Athletics are putting Rich Hill on the mound today to face Mike Wright of the Orioles. According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, Oakland is favored on the road today, as the Athletics are getting odds of -115 to win, while the Orioles are getting a money line of +105 to win. The over/under total for the contest has been set at 8 runs.
Baltimore is 16-11 on the season, 11-4 at home and 16-9-2 with the under. Oakland is 13-16 overall, 8-5 on the road and 15-12-2 with the under. These two were rained out on Friday, so will be playing a doubleheader today. This is the first of the two games. Baltimore has won its last five over Oakland.

The Athletics have lost their last four coming into today, which doesn’t likely spell good things for today in Baltimore. The Orioles aren’t exactly lighting the world on fire, but they have won four of their last seven at home, playing the likes of the Yankees and White Sox. Rich Hill has pitched well, but I don’t see Oakland giving him the run support he needs today.
