Brewers at Orioles prediction and picks
Prediction
Brewers 7 Orioles 4
Money line
Milwaukee can be susceptible to lefty pitching, but that gets mitigated by an expected short-ish outing by Zimmermann. But the bigger key in this match-up is the depth and talent of the bullpen arms: advantage Brewers. And that leverage is baked into an acceptable line.
TAKE MILWAUKEE (-160).

Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
Over/Under
Temps in the low-60s and a light wind blowing out to left-center mix with the overall pitching situations on both sides and make for a lean on the OVER 9.5 (+100).
