Baltimore Orioles DFS SPIN
Anthony Santander blasted a two-run homer on Saturday, powering the Orioles to a 3-1 victory over the Astros and their third straight victory. Santander opened the scoring in the ballgame with his 394-foot two-run bomb off of Astros starter Jose Urquidy in the third inning. He also drew a walk in the contest, finishing the night 1-for-3 officially. He has been a productive bat in the middle of the Orioles lineup this season, hitting .258/.336/.458 with 23 homers and 73 RBI.
Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Jose Altuve went 2-for-4 and scored the Astros lone run in a losing effort against the Orioles on Saturday night. Altuve led off the seventh inning by lining the first pitch he saw from Dean Kremer for a double. He then dashed around to score on an RBI single by Yordan Alvarez, trimming the Astros deficit to two runs at 3-1. That would be as close as they would get. With the two-hit effort, Altuve is now slashing a robust .285/.372/.507 to go with 21 homers, 45 RBI and 12 swipes on the season.

Orioles vs. Astros MLB BETTING PREDICTION
The first two games of this series were low-scoring but I see the bats coming alive today despite Justin Verlander toeing the rubber for Houston. The over is 7-3-2 in the Orioles’ last 12 games after allowing two runs or less in their previous game and has hit in seven of their last nine games when their opponent scored two runs or less in their previous game. On the other side, the over is 4-1 in the Astros’ last five games when playing the third game of a series and has cashed in five of their last seven games coming off a loss.
