The current betting odds have the Orioles listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Orioles haven't looked good in their games this season with their 50-53 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AL East. They have looked a lot better in their own ballpark though with their 28-25 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Braves have looked great in their games this season with their 60-42 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL East with one of the best records in MLB. They have been a good road team too with their 28-22 road record this year. The Braves are 6-4 in their last 10 games and have looked a lot better lately after going through a big slump the last month, but the Orioles have still been the hotter team lately, now 8-2 in their last 10 games. The Orioles are going with Young in this one and he has looked great this season. He is 8-2 with a 3.25 ERA and the team has been having a ton of success with him. He only gave up 1 earned run in his last start which has been a common theme for him and the team has won 3 games in a row now with him starting too. The Braves are going with Elder in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 6-6 with a 4.06 ERA and he had a great start to the year, but lately he has been falling apart. He is coming off a good start in which he only gave up 2 earned runs and the team has won 2 games in a row now with him starting, but that hasn't been a common theme for him lately. The Orioles have the better pitching matchup in this one and as good as the Braves offense has been this season, lately they have been really up and down while the Orioles have been putting up a ton of runs. The best way to place a bet here is on the Orioles to win this game.

“I've talked about him glowingly all year, and I'll continue to do so. He's the real deal.” - Walt Weiss on Chris Sale after his team’s win against the Padres in their game on Thursday.

“We all know who K.B. is and what he's capable of. It was just great to see him go out there and kind of be that stopper for us. And he did a great job of pounding the strike zone. Fastball shapes were great. Breaking balls were outstanding and he did a great job getting us through six.” - Craig Albernaz on Kyle Bradish after his team’s win against the Red Sox in game 2 of their double-header on Wednesday.
