Baltimore Orioles vs Milwaukee Brewers: the Brewers won’t allow a second loss in a row

Baltimore and Milwaukee will play the final game 3. So far, the series is tied at 1-1. Who will win the final matchup? Let's pick a few bets at once.

Baltimore solidifies as an outsider

Baltimore's 2-0 win against Milwaukee in the first game of the series was a real surprise. Prior to facing the Brewers, the Orioles had shown nothing at all on the road against Tampa Bay, losing all three games to the Rays, and it looked like Baltimore had little chance of even one win against Milwaukee either. Game two put things back on track as the Orioles lost to the Brewers 4-5. It looks like Baltimore will indeed be one of the MLB's top underdogs again this season.

The Orioles' starting pitcher for the final game of the series with the Brewers is 28-year-old left-hander John Means. The pitcher did well against Tampa Bay in his 2022 championship game debut, allowing just one run over six innings. Means finished last season with a 3.62 ERA and a 6-9 win-loss balance in 26 starts.

Milwaukee struggles to get going on season

One of the Major League's strongest teams in the past few seasons risks starting the 2022 championship with two consecutive losing series. In the first series, the Brewers failed on the road against the Chicago Cubs, winning only one of three meetings – 4-5, 0-9, 5-4. Milwaukee is now 1-1 before game three in Baltimore. If the Brewers lose the series against the Orioles as well, the season debut for the Wisconsin team could very well be described as a failure.

Starting on the Brewers' pitcher mound in the upcoming game will be Corbin Burnes, the MLB's best pitcher last season. Burnes had a disappointing first game in the new league, allowing 3 runs in 5 innings against the Chicago Cubs (4-5).

Head-to-head encounter

The score in the 2022 season series is tied at 1-1. 

Expert Betting Tips

Milwaukee and Baltimore today are teams of different level, class and tournament ambitions. So the Brewers will probably win the final game of the series. In addition, the Brewers starting pitcher will be Corbin Burnes, who rarely has two consecutive bad matches, and after the series with the Cubs, he will surely make up for the failure.

Prediction: a win for Milwaukee in a low-scoring match.
