Angels vs Orioles Betting Prediction

Baltimore comes into this game looking to stay hot at the plate, as they are averaging 12 runs per game right now. It is only two games into the season for these teams, but the Angels have to be uneasy about what they have seen from their pitching staff. Los Angeles will start Reid Detmers in this matchup, who finished the season pitching very well last year. Baltimore is going with Tyler Wells, who was great for the first half of the season, but was sent down in late July due to some command issues. I really liked what I saw from Wells for most of 2023 and he is going to be an important piece for this Baltimore rotation this year. After watching the Orioles dominate the first two games, I think the only play here is going back with Baltimore to get another win. Take the Orioles here.
