Baltimore at Chicago

August 1, 2025
img2:20 PM Eastern

Baltimore finally appears to have gotten on track and actually has a chance to be a wild-card contender after winning five of six, including three of four from first-place Toronto. They are 5-0 in their past five games after scoring at least five runs in their previous game, and 4-0 when Trevor Rogers starts after they allowed five or more runs. Baltimore has scored an astounding 61 runs in six games. Chicago has gone OVER four straight, and the Cubs just yielded 20 runs in a three-game series with Milwaukee while losing two of them. The Cubs have lost five of their past six in the first game of a series. The Cubs have gone OVER 11 of 16 home games, and the Orioles have soared OVER four straight in the first game of a series. Baltimore has won eight of 12 against the National League. Take the Orioles and the OVER.
