Here’s the craziest baseball trend this season that you might not know: the Orioles have won all of their 11 games to start a series. Just as crazy? The Cardinals are 0-11 in their first games of a series.
If you bet $100 on each of those 11 Orioles games, you’d be up $1,222 heading into today. Fading the Cardinals in those same situations would have landed you $1,390 as a $100 bettor.
The last time this occurred this past Friday, a $100 parlay on the Orioles (+185 at Braves) and fading the Cardinals (Tigers +190 in St. Louis) would have cashed $726.50.
The Orioles are +150 home underdogs to Shane McClanahan and the Rays at 6:35 p.m. ET, while the Cubs are -140 chalk hosting the slumping Cardinals (7:40 p.m. ET). If you think these trends continue, an Orioles and Cubs moneyline parlay is at a juicy +328.
