Free MLB Pick

Both starters are pitching well this season, but we prefer the Orioles with Wei-Yin Chin in this spot. Chin has been great against the current Mariners’ lineup holding them to a .151 batting average, .211 on base percentage and .428 OPS. It also helps that Seattle has struggled on the road with a poor 6-11 record compared to Baltimore’s 12-8 home record and that the Orioles have feasted on lefties this season scoring 5.33 runs per 9 innings. We’re going to take another shot on the run line tonight and hope that home side bats can extend the margin tonight.
