MLB Betting Trends
Baltimore
The Orioles are 18-46 in their last 64 games overall. Baltimore is 37-107 in its last 144 road games.
Arizona
The Diamondbacks are 1-9 in their last 10 Tuesday games. Arizona is 0-4 in the last four Kelly starts.
Prediction:
Kelly is coming off a very good home start against Milwaukee and while he has occasionally had a less than desirable start, he’s mostly been good the last two months. The same can’t be said for Bundy, who is always difficult to trust. The Orioles rarely win on the road and I wouldn’t call this a good spot to take a risk on them.
