Mets vs Orioles Prediction: Betting Trends
The New York Mets have covered the spread in 60% of their last five games, with a trend leaning slightly towards the ‘Over’ in three of those contests. Despite a mixture of results, recent performances show a capacity to exceed run expectations, which could influence bettors favoring the ‘Over’.
The Baltimore Orioles have also covered the spread 60% of the time in their last five outings. However, their games have predominantly hit the ‘Under’ in four of those matches. This indicates a tendency for lower-scoring games, driven by consistent pitching performances which have limited opponents’ runs.
