Baltimore Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles will host the Los Angeles Angels on June 15, 2025, in the third game of their series, following a thrilling matchup yesterday where the Orioles edged out the Angels 6-5. Both teams are struggling this season, with the Orioles sitting at 29-40 and the Angels at 33-36. While neither team is competing for a playoff spot, this matchup provides an opportunity for players to showcase their skills.

Scott Blewett is projected to start for the Orioles, but his season has been less than stellar, projecting an average of 1.6 innings pitched today with 0.9 earned runs allowed and just 1.7 strikeouts. His last outing on April 22, where he managed only 3 innings and allowed 2 earned runs, does not inspire confidence. On the other hand, Yusei Kikuchi takes the mound for the Angels. Despite a below-average overall ranking, he recently threw a standout performance on June 9, going 7 innings with 0 earned runs and 5 strikeouts.

While the Orioles’ offense ranks 18th overall, they are struggling with a team batting average of .255, placing them 21st in MLB. In contrast, the Angels’ offense has been underwhelming as well, ranking 23rd overall and 27th in batting average. However, they boast a strong home run total, ranking 5th in MLB, which could pose a threat against Blewett’s shaky pitching.

Today’s game total is set at 8.5 runs, reflecting expectations for a competitive but potentially low-scoring affair. With both teams fielding inconsistent lineups, bettors should keep an eye on how each team’s key hitters perform—especially given that the projections suggest the Orioles should be able to exploit Kikuchi’s high walk rate against their low-walk offense.

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Yusei Kikuchi – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
  Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Yusei Kikuchi has gone to his non-fastballs 9% more often this year (62.1%) than he did last season (53.1%).
  Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
• Travis d’Arnaud – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
  Over the past 7 days, Travis d’Arnaud’s Barrel% has experienced a surge, jumping from his seasonal rate of 17.4% up to 37.5%.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• Los Angeles Angels – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Los Angeles Angels’ bullpen projects as the worst among all the teams in the game.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Baltimore Orioles – Moneyline (-110)
  The Baltimore Orioles infield defense profiles as the best among all the teams playing today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Ramon Laureano – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
  Ramon Laureano has been cold of late, with his seasonal exit velocity of 88.3-mph dropping to 83.1-mph over the last 14 days.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• Coby Mayo – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  Coby Mayo hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (39.7% — 95th percentile) and will have a big advantage facing the game’s 4th-shallowest CF fences today.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
