Baltimore Orioles +120
Analysis: The once substantial lead in the NL Central for Milwaukee has shrunk to just 1.5 games as St. Louis continues to pick up ground. Milwaukee lost a tough extra-innings tilt at home Monday afternoon and while Milwaukee is 8-4 vs. left-handed starters this season they are just 3-3 in the last six instances. Milwaukee is just 3-7 overall in the last 10 games and the Brewers have bled profits with a 3-5 record in the last eight games as a home favorite. Wei-Yin Chen will be an unfamiliar for the Brewers and Chen has been a steady presence in the rotation for the Orioles. Chen has allowed three or fewer runs in six of his last seven starts and the Orioles are 6-2 in his last eight outings. Chen has walked just 10 batters in 53 innings this season and he will be in a favorable matchup against the impatient Milwaukee lineup. Baltimore is 26-23 on the season with a 15-11 road mark. The Baltimore bullpen has been very sharp of late and the Orioles have scored more than 5.1 runs per game over the last 10 contests, batting .281 in that span as a team. Matt Garza has been the weak link in a very good Milwaukee rotation as he has a 4.92 ERA on the season while picking up just two wins in 10 starts. Garza has allowed three or more runs in eight of his 10 outings with a dangerous 1.34 WHIP on the season. Milwaukee has hit just .236 against left-handed pitching this season and this should be strong underdog opportunity for the Orioles.
