Baltimore Orioles vs San Francisco Giants Prediction: Orioles to win this opener

At Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the Baltimore Orioles will play the San Francisco Giants in an MLB encounter. Coming off a series defeat, the two teams will eye for a win for a win in this opener. How will this encounter unfold? 

The Baltimore Orioles are coming off a series against the Detroit Tigers and lost. In that series, the Baltimore Orioles started with a 1-0 defeat in the opening game. However, while bouncing back with a 2-4 win to even the series in game 2, their 4-2 defeat in the finale handed this side their third consecutive series defeat. In the prior series, the Baltimore Orioles lost to the Detroit Tigers and Tampa Bay Rays.

The San Francisco Giants are coming off a series against the San Diego Padres, and they were swept. In that series, the San Francisco Giants failed to score in the first two, which ended 0-5 and 0-8. In the meantime, while scoring three runs in the finale, the San Francisco Giants still conceded four and ended up losing. Heading into this series opener, the San Francisco Giants have lost consecutive series games, the first coming against the Milwaukee Brewers, where they won only one of three games. 

The Baltimore Orioles are home underdogs, but the San Francisco Giants have not impressed me to back them. While the two teams are coming off defeats, I expect them to deliver quality performance in a game where both teams are playing on the same level. Yet, the Orioles at home should start the series with a win, a game that should end with so many defensive performances.
