Orioles vs Giants Betting Odds: Both Show Relevance in Respective Division Race

Baltimore Four Games Back in AL East, Giants 5.5 Out in NL West   

We begin our Orioles vs Giants betting odds preview with a look back at the first two months of the Major League baseball season from Baltimore and San Francisco betting perspective, followed by a dive into the upcoming MLB schedule for both teams to start the third month of action, and we’ll end with our pick for game one, Friday. The Giants are a -150 favorite to start the series with a total of 7.5 (-110). Let’s start our Orioles vs Giants betting odds preview with a stop-in with the Orioles.

Orioles Hope to Bounce Back After Series in Cleveland

To say the Orioles pitching wasn’t great against the Cleveland Guardians is a massive understatement after giving up 22 runs in three games against Cleveland who is 24th in Major League Baseball with a .233 team average. Only the Oakland Athletics have scored less (200 in 58 games) than the Cleveland Guardians (200 in 55 games). Not the company you want to keep if you’re the Guardians and not the team you want your money behind as a bettor.

Cleveland had made 264 trips to the plate without a home run before Josh Bell and Gabriel Arias connected in their 12-8 win, Wednesday. This is the part of the MLB schedule that will likely make or break Baltimore for the rest of the season with series against the Texas Rangers Texas Rangers, New York Rangers, Toronto Blue Jays, and Los Angeles Angels on deck. Dean Kramer (5-2, 4.58) will get the ball in game one. Kramer has allowed nine earned runs and 18 hits in his last 10.2 innings of work. Let’s turn our Orioles vs Giants betting preview attention to the San Francisco Giants.

Pirates Send Giants Off The Plank

The San Francisco Giants may have taken the Pittsburgh Pirates lightly. After all, Pittsburgh had dropped 17 of their last 23 in the month of May but came away from the bay with a 2-1 series win after another win from Pirates Ace Mitch Keller (7-1). San Francisco was stung by former Giant Andrew McCutchen who went 3-4 and stellar defense from newly signed Brian Reynolds.

The inconsistent Giants lineup was at it again against the Bucs, scoring 14 runs in game one followed by just five combined in games two and three. Logan Webb (4-5, 2.75) will toe the rubber to start the series. Webb could be having the best season of his five-year career with one of the best-earned run averages in the game if the Giants would give the California native some run support. In his 11 starts, Webb has received just 2.41 runs per game with eight yielding three runs or less eight times.

In the month of May, the righty received just even totals runs of support in five starts. It’s going to be putting our cash behind both the Giants and the Orioles but we’re not here to sit on the fence.

With A Shaky Hand, We’re Betting…

Although the San Francisco Giants are just 4-4 in their last eight games, they have been very good at grabbing the first game of a series this season, winning six straight games 1’s. Their history against the best teams in baseball isn’t great (losers of 16 of 22 against teams over. 600), the Giants have been a reliable wager against righties (9-4 last 13). Baltimore has lost 9 of their last 12 against the National League West. We’re going to lay the -150, a number that appears to be on the verge of coming down. Perhaps wait until that number dips into the -140’s. That does it for our Orioles vs Giants betting odds preview. Best of luck in Friday’s MLB ‘Get-Out’ game.
