Jack Flaherty gets another top-shelf test in his young Orioles tenure when he faces the daunting Astros tonight at Camden. Our betting picks are bullish about his chances to deliver a quality outing in front of the home fans en route to a Baltimore win.
We’ll start our same-game parlay by backing the Orioles to win. The big reason for my confidence in Baltimore is Flaherty, so the rest of our SGP will be based on the team’s newest starter. Cristian Javier
Finally, I’m going to take Flaherty to strike out at least five batters tonight. While I just said that he’s not a dominant strikeout pitcher, Flaherty does get his fair share of punch outs, finishing 8.9 batters per nine innings in 2023. The Astros do tend to strike out more often against right-handed pitchers, and five is a very reasonable target for Flaherty to close out our parlay.
I’ve made the Orioles moneyline bet my best play of the game for a number of reasons. Flaherty is set up well for success and Baltimore has played very well at home. But overall, the Orioles are also just a slightly better team than the Astros, as their young talent continues to bloom this summer. I’m taking Baltimore.
