Orioles vs Brewers Betting Odds: Orioles, At Home On The Road

Milwaukee Looks to Reclaim First Place in National League Central Division

A pair of second-place teams are getting together for the opener of a three-game series with the Orioles vs Brewers betting odds favoring the home team.

The Brewers are coming off a 2-0 loss as Andrew Abbott, making his MLB debut, combined with three other Cincinnati pitchers on a three-hit shutout. The loss knocked Milwaukee out of first place in the National League Central Division.

Baltimore is tied with Atlanta for the most road wins (20) in the majors after taking two of three games from the San Francisco Giants so the Orioles have no issues when the MLB schedule calls for them to hit the road.

Kyle Gibson, who has pitched into at least the sixth inning in five of his last six starts, will get the ball for the Orioles looking for his eighth win of the season. He didn’t pick up win No. 8 in 2022 until mid-August. The last time he faced the Brewers was in 2021 when he surrendered seven hits and three runs in 4.2 innings.

Freddy Peralta, who is 0-2 with a 6.28 ERA in his last three outings, will start for the Brewers. He has never faced the Orioles.

According to the MLB odds, Milwaukee (+2500) is 10th and Baltimore (+3500) is 12th in the odds to win the World Series.

A Welcome Addition

While some New York Yankees fans cheered the decision to part ways with struggling outfielder Aaron Hicks, the Baltimore Orioles were just fine adding another veteran bat to the lineup.

Hicks had two hits, including a triple, a walk and an RBI in Baltimore’s last game, and in three games with the Orioles he is batting .333 with a .455 on-base percentage after playing in all three games in the series with the San Francisco Giants. Even with his addition, Orioles vs Brewers betting odds list visiting Baltimore as the underdog.

Four of Baltimore’s last five games against National League teams finished under the total. The total is set at 8.5 for this MLB matchup.

Wiemer Starting to Deliver

Outfielder Joey Wiemer was looking like a Rookie of the Year candidate when the season began as he was batting .333 with three extra-base hits in his first eight games. After that, his average plummeted to .187 in late May.

He is back trending in the right direction with a .444 batting average during his current six-game hitting streak with four doubles, a home run, six runs scored and five walks. His recent hot streak is one reason why Milwaukee is favored according to the Orioles vs Brewers betting odds.

Five of Milwaukee’s last six games finished under the total.

Who’s Hot

• Felix Bautista, Baltimore Orioles P: Bautista has allowed one hit and no runs with nine strikeouts in four innings in his last four outings.
• Andruw Monasterio, Milwaukee Brewers OF: Monasterio is batting .313 with three runs scored in his last five games.
• Ryan O’Hearn, Baltimore Orioles 1B: O’Hearn is 5-for-14 with four doubles and three RBIs in his last four games.
• Devin Williams, Milwaukee Brewers P: Williams hasn’t allowed a run in his last eight appearances. He has given up just two hits with 10 strikeouts in nine innings during that stretch.

Who’s Not

• Bryan Baker, Baltimore Orioles P: Baker has surrendered eight runs in 5.2 innings over his last seven games.
• Jake Cousins, Milwaukee Brewers P: Cousins allowed two hits and two runs without recording an out in his last appearance.
• Anthony Santander, Baltimore Orioles: Santander is hitless in 13 at-bats with three strikeouts in the three games he played in this month.
• Brice Turang, Milwaukee Brewers 2B: Turang is 0-for-19 with four strikeouts over his last six games.

For Milwaukee, shortstop Willy Adames is expected to be sidelined until at least Thursday due to a concussion.

Orioles vs Brewers Betting Preview

Although Milwaukee is favored with -123 odds to take the series opener, it is hard to have too much confidence in the way Peralta has been pitching.

None of the last six meetings between the Orioles and Brewers finished over the total.
