Grayson Rodriguez (3-0, 2.63 ERA) vs. Griffin Canning (0-3, 8.05 ERA)
Grayson Rodriguez has emerged as a rock of consistency for the Orioles. Boasting an outstanding record and 2.63 ERA, Rod has proven his mettle by going 3-0 over 24 innings pitched while only giving up 20 hits, 8 walks, and striking out 27 batters while limiting homers (only 3 allowed!). Such performance against an Angels lineup that struggles to generate runs could prove pivotal in maintaining Oriole momentum going into tomorrow night’s contest with Los Angeles.
Griffin Canning has had an underwhelming start to the Angels season. Boasting an unimpressive 0-3 record with an 8.05 ERA, Canning has struggled to find his groove over 19 innings pitched; surrendering 25 hits including five homers which is especially concerning against Baltimore’s power-hitting bats. To give their team any hope in this contest he must experience an abrupt improvement of performance that gives his side an edge against Oriole sluggers like Chris Davis.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Los Angeles Angels 4/23/24 Betting Picks
According to data and trends, it appears as though the Orioles will continue their winning ways against an uninspired Angels squad. Rodriguez should help limit any offensive threats for Angels while the Orioles batters can take advantage of any vulnerabilities Canning may possess in order to exploit his game plan for winning pitches against them.
Today’s baseball betting picks may include favoring the Baltimore Orioles to cover their spread while possibly contributing an OVER total due to both teams’ propensity for higher-scoring contests.
This predicted outcome takes into account both teams’ strengths and current forms. With Rodriguez pitching for Baltimore, their advantage in pitching should show through. Furthermore, their more potency lineup should capitalize on Canning’s struggles leading to an easy victory for them.
