First place Baltimore is getting no respect with this betting number. They won yesterday as a +140 dog and have an excellent road record (16-10). The Orioles are No. 10 in baseball in runs scored and No. 6 in slugging. So why should Tampa Bay's young lefty Matt Moore be this big a favorite? The kid is 1-5 with a 4.76 ERA, walking 28 in 56 innings. The Orioles have already seen him this year (and beat him). The Orioles are 9-2 in their last 11 road games against a left-handed starter. Tampa Bay is 1-4 in their last five games as a home favorite and 1-4 in Moore's last five starts. Tampa Bay has a less reliable offense, one ranked No. 17 in runs and No. 26 in team batting average (.237). And the Orioles are 5-2 in the last seven meetings. Play the Orioles.
