Are the O’s for real?
The Orioles are 14 games over .5oo and second to only Tampa in the AL East. Will they find a way past the Rays before the end of the regular season?

Rea gets the nod for the home team tomorrow. The right-hander has won three consecutive starts, holding Houston, San Francisco, and Cincinnati to seven earned runs in 16.1 innings. Rea was win-less in his first seven starts — will he continue his hot streak vs. Baltimore?
Best Bets for this Game
Full-Game Side Bet
Insiders Status:
Rating:
The Orioles are 5-1 in their last six Thursday games and the Brewers are 1-5 in their last six Thursday games.
The Orioles are 5-1 in their last six during game three of a series, 13-3 in their last 16 games with the total set at 9.0-10.5, and 7-3 in their last ten road games.
The Brewers slash .224 .304/.399/.703 at home and did not perform as a first-place team should in May (.219/.291/.369/.660). Their June splits aren’t any good, either (.205/.303/.327/.630). While they have managed to win four of their previous five heading into Tuesday’s night game, I don’t anticipate them going on a much longer winning streak.
The Orioles boast the second-best winning percentage on the road (64.5%) and the third-best winning percentage as road underdogs in MLB. Thursday’s starter Bradish has been a reliable arm in the O’s rotation, holding half his opponents to one or no runs scored. Against a Milwaukee team that’s 25th in scoring, 26th in OPS, and 27th in batting average, I’m confident he will have a quality start.
I’m wagering three units that Baltimore will win straight-up Thursday afternoon.

Rating:
The under is 6-1-1 in the Orioles’ last eight interleague games vs. a right-handed starter, 4-1 in their last five vs. a team with a winning record, and 4-1 in their last five road games.
The under is 4-0 in the Brewers’ last four during game three of a series, 5-0-1 in their last six interleague games, and 14-2 in their last 16 home games with the total set at 9.0-10.5. It’s also 9-1 in Milwaukee’s last ten Thursday games and 6-1-1 in their last eight overall.
The under is my bet on the total at 9.5 runs scored. Rea has held four of his opponents to two or less runs and six of his opponents to three or less runs. Bradish has also been adept at keeping the opposition off the scoreboard. The Orioles are ice-cold at the dish so far in June (.199/.231/.353/.584), as are the Brewers. In an interleague game vs. an unfamiliar opponent, I am confident this will be a low-scoring game.
