Season series: Orioles lead 1-0
The Orioles beat the Dodgers, 3-2, on Tuesday night. Third baseman Ramon Urias hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning to give them a 3-2 lead, and the relief pitchers held them in check from there. They pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing no runs, two hits and striking out four. The Orioles are now three out of four and one game behind the New York Yankees in the AL East.
The Dodgers had chances to put a stop to the Baltimore starter through 4 1/3 innings, but couldn't get the run going. DH Shohei Ohtani had two hits and is continuing his impressive offensive season with a .294 batting average, 41 home runs, 94 RBI, 101 runs scored and 40 stolen bases.

Orioles vs Dodgers predictions and forecasts
prediction
Dodgers 6, Orioles 5
Money Line
Both starting pitchers have been awful lately, so this is definitely the team to pick. The Dodgers offense has been in a slump, allowing only five runs in their last two games, but they are ready to break out. At home, Barnes has not performed well against the Dodgers.
I bet on the Dodgers -110.
Against run line/spread
I expect Shohei Ohtani to win by at least 1.5H+R+RBI (-149). He hasn't had many at-bats against Barnes (1-for-3), but this bet has paid off in 5 of the 6 games.
Over/Under
The temperature is expected to be 72 degrees with winds gusting up to 9 mph in the center of the line.
This would spell disaster for two talented pitchers who are currently underachieving.
Of the three, OVER 8.5 (-120) is my favorite bet.
