MLB Betting Trends
Baltimore
The Orioles are 2-6 in their last eight interleague road games. Baltimore is 1-5 in the last six Means road starts.
Arizona
The D-Backs are 7-1 in their last eight interleague games. Arizona is 9-4 in its last 13 Wednesday games.
Prediction:
It is remarkable that Means has managed to post an 8-5 record on such a pitiful team. With how nodescript the Diamondbacks looked Tuesday night, it's hard not to like the O's again today. Clarke has gotten beat up at the MLB level and while this isn't an imposing matchup, Baltimore manufactured seven runs and hit three homers yesterday so it's not like there are ghosts coming up to the dish. Means shouldn't require a lot of support and I like his chances to guide the Orioles to another win today as dogs.
