O's watch $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Old School]

BALTIMORE -- After Chris Sale and Jackie Bradley Jr. got Boston to the 12th inning, Andrew Benintendi took it from there.

Benintendi delivered the tie breaking home run, and Boston received a masterful pitching performance from Sale and a game-saving catch from Bradley in a 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night.

Record 13-24

Orioles: Following a day off, Baltimore sends Dan Straily (1-2, 7.43) to the mound Friday night against the Los Angeles Angels.

Renato Nunez is 8 for his last 58 with 1 HR, 2 doubles, 3 walks, and 19 strike outs. Last night he came up in the bottom of the 9th, the winning run on 2nd base with no outs and failed to advance that runner to 3rd. Nunez isn't a good fielder which is why he's spent most of the year as the Orioles' DH. In other words, all he has to offer the team is his bat and right now he can't even offer that.
22 year old Ryan Mountcastle is your prototypical DH playing for the AAA Norfolk Tides, and he's tearing the cover off the ball. Playing half his games in a pitcher's park he's batting .323 /.348 /.512. Two weeks ago he was named the International Player of the week.
Maybe it's time to give the kid a chance?

Jack,
saw a dozen games in the Tides home field, back in the day when Norfolk was a Metropolitan Farm Squad (watching young guys like Reyes and Wright)...Kids would run the bases after the games...Good family fun.

You had to hit the baseball very well to get it outta there if I remember correctly....



Like to see that kid get a chance in the Bigs, but he is considered a liability in the field.....

Honestly, what do the Birds have to lose?

MLB Betting: How Can Bettors Cash in on the Baltimore Orioles?
Andrew Lange April 30, 2019 MLB
Share on FacebookTweet about this on Twitter

I discussed prior to the MLB season that betting against the Baltimore Orioles was going to be a tricky proposition. The reason was simple: The betting markets were projected to price this team as one of the worst in the modern era. Heading into Tuesday night, Baltimore is 10-20 but down less than -1 unit based on the traditional moneyline format. Yes, the Orioles are technically ahead of last year?s 47-win pace that saw them drop north of -50 units but the lack of success fading this squad (-1 unit) has more to do with market adjustment. Last season, the average moneyline price against Baltimore was -167. This year, -203. That price is oddsmakers? telling bettors, ?If you want to reap the benefits of betting against arguably the worst team in MLB, you?re going to have to earn it.?

So if betting against the Orioles on the moneyline isn?t going to yield much of any return, what?s the alternative? The obvious choice is the run-line. I?ve never been much of a run-line bettor, especially early in the season when who is ?good? and ?bad? is far less defined. Typically, I?ll become more active with run-line wagers late in the season when moneyline prices start to really soar and weaker teams officially take a knee on the season. I?ll admit, it?s not even May and the Orioles are really testing that philosophy. Through 30 games, if you?ve bet against Baltimore on the run-line, you?re up just over +6 units or a 16.4% ROI. The average price tag on those run-line bets has seen only a modest increase; -117 vs. only -110 in 2018. Now, a 16% ROI on only 30 bets is likely unsustainable. In fact, betting against the historically bad Orioles on the run-line last year produced a 11.6% ROI. Let?s say for example Baltimore matches last year?s 68-94 record on the run-line but instead of -110 the average price becomes -125. You?re ROI all of a sudden is cut in half. For some bettors any sort of profit in MLB is worth the time and effort. And for those willing to be diligent and ?grind?, betting against the Orioles on the run-line is far from a bad idea. But as we know, nothing in the world of sports betting is that cut and dry over such a large sample size. What happens if that 68-94 record becomes 72-90? Or the average price of -125 climbs to -135? Now the juice no longer becomes worth the squeeze. Ultimately, this isn?t so much of an exercise in betting against the Orioles as it is understanding where a team resides in the eyes of oddsmakers and the betting markets. It?s well established by all parties that Baltimore is an awful team. The question now becomes how long will we as bettors be able to take advantage of that fact?

The Orioles have reached the century mark. The homer that Clint Frazier hit against David Hess is the 100th that the O's have allowed this season. They did it in 48 games, or nine games faster than the previous fastest (2000 Royals). Baltimore is on pace to surrender 338 homers, which would be 80 more than the current record

O's trail 11-4 thru 7......this is one sad ballclub..
