Final Brewers-Orioles Prediction & Pick
The Brewers have been impressive in their series with the Reds. they have shown to have a solid offense overall, and also good pitching. Still, the Orioles are better. The Orioles did have the better pitching going before the rain out allowed the Brewers to reset their rotation. Still, the Orioles have been scoring late in games with ease. This has allowed them to make large comebacks and secrue the win. They should be able to do that again today at home. Take the Orioles in this one.
