Baltimore at Minnesota

The Baltimore Orioles are finally becoming a competitive team again. The Birds lost a whopping 110 games a year ago, but through 77 games this year, they are just seven games under .500. They are 7-5 over their last 12, and the pitching has been much better as they have recorded three shutouts over the 12 games and have limited nine of the 12 opponents to three runs or fewer. Minnesota is just 6-8 over their last 14 games. Minnesota plays in a weak division, and their record is not representative of the schedule, while Baltimore is in the toughest division in baseball. I think the odds here are impacted by that as well as how bad Baltimore has been in recent years, but this team is much better. Make the play on Baltimore.
