Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles. MLB’s pick for the game will go to the Baltimore Orioles +155. Strasburg is just coming out of a nerve injury, which will make his performance questionable in this game. He won’t pitch for a long time in this game, and the Orioles will keep the offense going in this one. Milone pitched 6 shutout innings against Washington last weekend and will be a big factor if he can do it again in game 1. Prediction: Baltimore wins at 6-4.
