Baltimore Orioles at Colorado Rockies 5/26/19 – MLB Pick
The Orioles are one of those teams that no one really expected to do much on the year and they are definitely living up to that status here. The Orioles have only managed to get a total of 15 wins on the year and have 36 losses this year. In the last 5 games the Orioles have yet to win a game and that can lead to quite a few problems. The Rockies have bounced all over and generally are not that good of a home team, but against the Orioles have the potential to look amazing on the year and that could help out quite a bit on the year as it could get the Rockies back on the winning path as they are 3-2 in the last 5 games.

The Rockies have a dominating offense that can really take care of the opponents and when facing the staff of the Orioles it will be easier for the Rockies hitters to stay on track. Not to mention David Hess is not having a good season so far and that will really cost the Orioles in this game as the Rockies jump out to an early lead and do not look back. Final Score, Colorado Rockies win 6-2.
