Season series: 1-1 draw
On Wednesday night, the Orioles lost to the Dodgers, 6-4, and we won all three of our bets. The Orioles played sloppy defense, making three errors, and right-hander Corbin Burnes couldn't fend them off. He allowed six runs, only one of which was earned. The Orioles are one game behind the New York Yankees in the American League East and have a big lead over the top of the Wild Card spot.
The Dodgers responded by scoring four runs in the third inning after the Orioles scored three in the second inning and never gave up the lead again. DH Shohei Ohtani hit his 42nd career home run and outfielder Teoscar Hernandez hit his 28th career home run. The Dodgers now lead the National League West by three games.

Orioles vs Dodgers predictions and forecasts
prediction
Dodgers 6, Orioles 5
Money Line
The Dodgers have a clear advantage, especially on the road, in that Povich can't get hitters out. Miller is a bit of a scoring machine himself, but he's a much better home starter. If they can hold the Orioles to three runs, the Dodgers should be fine.
I bet on the Dodgers -145.
Against run line/spread
With Ohtani and Mookie Betts' H+R+RBI lines ballooning to 2.5, this is a sneaky play. Get Tommy Edman at 1.5 H+R+RBI or better (-120). He's 6-for-29 (.207) since returning to the IL, but is 4-for-9 (.444) against lefties with a second and third base hit.
Over/Under
The temperature is 71 degrees and 10 mph winds are expected in Tinseltown's center field. Miller has allowed three or more runs in five of his six starts, while Povich has allowed three or more runs in five of his seven starts.
Bet on OVER 9 (+100).
