MLB Odds/Point Spread: Baltimore Orioles -230, Total Odds: 9
Despite winning their last two matches against the A’s, the White Sox had a terrible road record this year, sitting at 24-42 going into Monday. As a rookie pitcher, Scholtens did not do much to impress anyone, and playing a squad like Baltimore isn’t going to change that. Kremer performed strongly in his most recent start against the Blue Jays. The Orioles have a much deeper lineup to rely on offensively, and he shut down the White Sox in his lone career appearance against them. Baltimore is currently 40-25 at home and should be able to handle business against a disorganized White Sox team as they continue their ongoing reconstruction.
