The Baltimore Orioles have won seven consecutive series since mid-August. They have some work to do if they are to maintain their lead in the AL East, especially with the Tampa Bay Rays on their heels.

The St. Louis Cardinals are fresh off a successive series of wins over the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves. They are not making a playoff push, but can still be competitive a few nights a week.

They averaged 4.58 runs (17th) and hit .253 (13th) with a .753 OPS (9th). They’ve launched 196 home runs (9th) and stolen 91 bases (21st) in 2023. The pitching staff combined for a 4.83 ERA (25th) and 1.46 WHIP (28th) with 44 quality starts (22nd).

Rom should take the hill for the Cardinals tonight. In his last start, he conceded four runs and seven hits, including two home runs, in 3.2 innings vs. the Reds. Rom sports an 11:10 K:BB ratio in four outings against Philadelphia, Pittsburgh (two times), and Cincy.

MatchPlug Prediction For Baltimore Orioles VS St. Louis Cardinals

Baltimore has the more seasoned pitcher taking the mound, while its offense can break out offensively every match, they do not have enough edge in both departments to earn a bet on a cover.

Gibson has an ERA north of five at home, at home, and St. Louis slashes an impressive .255 BA/.330 OBP/.430 SLG/.759 OPS vs. right-handed pitchers this season. He may have won three of his last starts, but he has pitched some duds lately, plus a seven-run shelling vs. the Chicago White Sox on August 30th.

Rom doesn’t have enough experience for bettors to wager on the first-position Orioles, who slash .256 BA/.338/.440 SLG/.778 OPS vs. lefty pitcher and are consistent with hitting well at home. He has held two of his four opponents to only five combined runs, but he is prone to playing the long ball (four HRs) and conceding 12 runs in his other two outings.

The Cardinals may perform well enough to keep the match close, but for a winner, the Baltimore Orioles are a better choice.

Prediction: Baltimore Orioles Moneyline.
