Milwaukee Brewers
Moneyline Pick - Baltimore Orioles (-105): B

Baltimore enters this series trying to snap a six-game slide, but their skid intersects with a Milwaukee club that’s lost seven of its last ten, making recent form closer than it appears on the surface. The Brewers remain short-handed in both the rotation and the outfield, while Baltimore’s injury situation is trending the other way, with key bats returning and only one major arm still out. The Orioles’ lineup has hit this Milwaukee staff well in past meetings, and they’ll face a starter who’s struggled historically against their right-heavy order.

Milwaukee’s adjusted rotation leaves them leaning on depth rather than strength, and Baltimore’s contact-heavy lineup is built to handle the type of sinker-heavy approach they’ll see. With both teams well below .500 and the season creeping toward its midpoint, urgency edges toward the visitors. Backing the Orioles at close to even money offers a decent angle on a team getting healthier and desperate to correct course

Over/Under Pick - Under 8.5, (-110): B

Baltimore enters this one trying to halt a six-game slide, with a sputtering offense that’s managed just a dozen runs over that stretch. Milwaukee, meanwhile, has dropped up three of its last five and turns to a hard-throwing starter capable of keeping the Orioles’ bats quiet. Both rotations are leaning on arms that have shown flashes but are missing key contributors, and while the bullpens are solid, they’ve been leaned on heavily in recent outings. Despite the warmer weather and defensive miscues on both sides, the form of each lineup suggests runs may come at a premium.

With neither team at full offensive strength and reliable late-inning arms still in play, a lower-scoring contest feels like the right angle. The total staying under nine runs aligns with the current trajectory of both clubs, making it a solid spot to target pitching over power.

Spread Pick - Milwaukee Brewers, +1.5 (-208): B

Baltimore enters this matchup trying to shake off a six-game losing streak, but offensive inconsistency and key absences continue to hold them back, particularly in late innings. The rotation hasn’t travelled well either, with road performances trending poorly. On the other side, Milwaukee has dropped three of their last five but enters with steadier pitching, both in the rotation and the bullpen, which has posted an ERA under 3 over the past ten games. That recent form, paired with favourable historical trends at the plate, sets up well for the home team to stay competitive.

While backing an outright win might carry more risk, taking the +1.5 run line offers a more controlled way to ride the Brewers’ momentum. It’s not cheap, but given the contrast in current pitching form and lineup stability, it’s a justifiable angle.
