Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles Predictions 6/21/2022
Despite a better start to the year and an upgraded pitching staff, Baltimore is once again in last place in the AL East. Regrettably for Baltimore, they play in what is perhaps baseball’s most competitive division.
Aside from the Yankees, who are on pace to reach 50 wins before the end of the season, the remaining three clubs are all over.500 and have a positive double-digit run differential.
After a 2-1 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday, Baltimore is at 30-38. The Orioles already won two out of three games against the reigning AL East champions. The Orioles won 2-1 thanks to Anthony Santander’s home run and a bullpen game.
Despite the Orioles not having named a starter as of this writing, Jordan Lyles is expected to start on Tuesday. Lyles was unable to play on Sunday due to a gastrointestinal condition, but he should be fully recovered after taking an extra day off on Monday.
With four quality starts this year, Lyles is tied for the club lead in quality starts and innings thrown. The Orioles went 1-2 in Lyles’ previous three appearances, with the right-hander going 5 innings in two and 5.1 innings in the other.
- The total went OVER in 14 of Baltimore’s last 18 matches.
- The Baltimore Orioles are 6-3 SU in their last 9 matches
- The total went UNDER in 4 of Baltimore’s last 6 matches against Washington.
Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles. The MLB pick for this game is the Baltimore Orioles. Baltimore won six of its previous 10 games and is 17-16 at home this season. The Nationals lost eight of their previous 10 games and are in a funk.
The Nationals are 12-20 on the road this season. Fedde is coming off a game in which he threw a season-high 111 pitches and a start in which he threw nearly 100 pitches (98).
Fedde threw the most pitches in two games this season by a long shot. He made six road starts, going 2-2 with a 4.71 ERA and striking out just three hitters per game. Lyles will have an extra two days of rest and should be fresh and ready to go for this game.
In the narrower confines of Camden Yards, Fedde’s inability to keep balls out of play might be a major concern. Baltimore should be able to put up solid offensive numbers and finish the season above.500 at home. The Baltimore Orioles will win to a predicted score of 6-5.
