Baltimore Orioles ML +119 (2*): 7:05 pm EST
The Orioles are quietly holding onto the best record in the MLB right now (19-9) with the Rangers not too far behind them at (18-10) but after a very hot start the Rangers are only 4-6 in their last 10 games. Baltimore is getting no respect from linesmakers because the average bettor doesn't realize how good this Orioles team is and therefore they have no need to adjust lines. 75% of Moneyline bets coming in on this game are on the Rangers which is a great way of illustrating why linesmakers can get away with having bad lines in Baltimore's favor without it hurting them. The O's also have the starting pitching advantage tonight, although Rangers starter Matt Harrison has a better win/loss record this year than Orioles starter Brian Matusz I would still consider Matusz the better of the two. Harrison started the year off pretty well, but in his past few games has looked pretty bad and I expect that to continue here tonight.
