MLB Betting Trends
Baltimore
Baltimore is just 1-6 in Cashner’s last seven starts and they are also 0-6 in their last six Monday games. The Orioles have also lost 18 of their last 24 series openers.
Chicago
The White Sox are just 7-19 in Santiago’s last 26 starts and 4-10 in his last 14 home starts. They also are 4-11 in their last 15 games against AL East opponents.
Prediction:
The White Sox are picking up a little momentum right now, by beating the Rangers in three of four. They face a similar caliber team tonight in Baltimore, who has struggled at the plate and has really poor pitching. I think the White Sox will be able to keep things going and pick up another win over the Orioles tonight.
The Pick: Chicago White Sox -105
