- Baltimore is 12-3 straight up over the past 15 home games
- Below, find the Pirates vs Orioles odds and best bets
The Baltimore Orioles (54-51, 29-20 home) used to be what the Pittsburgh Pirates (43-62, 19-33 away) remain: the Orioles were American League East bottom feeders for many years but today are challenging for an AL Wild Card position. Nineteen games below .500, the Pirates are still that bottom feeder in the NL Central.
As these two begin a three-game MLB interleague series on Friday, that sudden wide gulf between the two clubs is evident.

Mitch Keller continues to show enough to keep you very interested.

Entering the season, Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer was 1-7 with a 6.84 ERA in two seasons as a big-league pitcher. Kremer hadn’t won since 2020.
Dean Kremer has really fallen apart over the last 3 starts. Looks like 2021 Kremer. Nibbling, hanging breaking balls, not able to put away hitters.

This season, he’s won three times since June 12. However, of late, Kremer is struggling. He’s 0-2 over his last three starts and has surrendered 23 hits and 13 earned runs over 13.2 innings for an 8.56 ERA. Kremer has also served up four home runs during this stretch.

Pirates vs Orioles Prediction
Keller has been pitching well lately. He just isn’t getting the run support to win consistently. Pittsburgh is second-last in MLB in batting average (.220) and third-last in runs scored per game (3.70).

In their last three games, the Pirates have scored 18 runs. If they can take that level of offense on the road, where they’ve scored two runs or fewer in five of the past six games, an upset could be brewing here.
Pick: Pittsburgh Pirates ML (+140)
