MLB BETTING PREDICTION: (Orioles ML -177)
The Orioles have shown an ability to beat the Rays this season. Catching them in the division mid season and not giving up the lead yet means something. Last night’s response showed the power of home field. Kremer’s recent record also gives confidence that the square move is wise here. Bet Baltimore tonight.
