Athletics vs Baltimore Orioles: Shane Baz Under 2.5 Pitcher - Earned Runs (-105)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The odds for Shane Baz to allow under 2.5 earned runs is a solid bet, given his recent form. The Oakland Athletics have not been scoring much at home, winning only 25 out of 66 games there this season. This makes it tougher for opposing pitchers, like Baz, to give up runs. Plus, both the Athletics and the Baltimore Orioles have similar hitting numbers against left-handed pitchers, which means Baz could keep runs in check.
While Baz has been strong, the risk lies in how close the teams are in performance. The Orioles have been slightly better lately, winning five of their last ten games. That said, with the Athletics struggling to score consistently, Baz has a good chance to keep those earned runs low, making this bet worthwhile.
