Prediction: St. Louis Cardinals VS Baltimore Orioles 2025-05-26

The St. Louis Cardinals, with their impressive 55.6% win rate as moneyline favorites, are heading to Baltimore to take on the struggling Orioles. The Cardinals are favored to win at -120, and I'm not surprised. With Erick Fedde on the mound, boasting a 3.77 ERA and 34 strikeouts in 57 1/3 innings pitched, they've got a solid chance of taking this one.

The Orioles, on the other hand, have been... well, let's just say they've been having a rough season. Their 5.61 ERA and 1.488 WHIP are not exactly confidence-inspiring. Cedric Mullins is a bright spot, with 10 home runs and 31 RBIs, but it's unlikely he'll be enough to carry the team to victory.

My best bet for this matchup? Take the Cardinals on the moneyline at -120. The odds are in their favor, and with Fedde pitching, I think they've got this one in the bag. The over/under is set at 9.5, but I'm not convinced either way - the Cardinals have hit the over in 27 of their 52 games, while the Orioles have hit it in 25 of their 51. It's a toss-up, but if I had to choose, I'd say take the under at 1.82. The Cardinals' pitching should be able to keep the Orioles in check, and Fedde's ERA suggests he'll be able to limit the damage.

So, there you have it. Cardinals on the moneyline, and a tentative under bet. Let's see how it plays out!
